An understanding of AI’s limitations is starting to sink in

"Hi AlphaGo, let's play tic tac toe". Consider me bored of it all. We're not close to anything. The emphasis is on "artificial", not "intelligence". It should be renamed Glorified Calculation. There are some neat tricks, writing your first neural net is great fun, but we're using the word intelligence with spectacular liberty. I'll keep an eye open for something inspiring, but I've seen nothing of the sort yet.

Proof of AGI progress would be a significant enough achievement (given there hasn't been any for decades) that it wouldn't require looking hard - but please share any links to it you have.

Nobody else seems able to, especially the AI ("more power and money needed! we're just around the corner!") blowhards.

The modesty of AI researchers is a major problem here. So many miraculous discoveries go completely unadvertised.
