Human intelligence involves choosing which context to use at any given point. So far, so called AI appears to take an external source of context for granted, which is why it seems to me fundamentally different from "real" intelligence, just like your eyes are different from your entire nervous system.

Every time there is some progress in AI people would yell "but this is not a real AI 'cause humans can..." ( play go/understand pictures/language/semantics/etc, goalpost is always in motion)

AI carves away what it means to be human one trivial slice at a time.

That's how it always has been and always will be until perhaps one day there is truly nothing 'truly human' left to slice off.

This comment crosses into incivility. Please don't do that on HN, regardless of how right you think you are compared to someone else.

As if humans in cars does not make mistakes. Last time I checked humans have intelligence.
