A half-joking prediction:

at some point we'll solve all arbitrarily hard milestones for AIs and yet find ourselves 'nowhere near having real general intelligence'.

At that point we might start questioning our assumptions about intelligence.

Well, if those hard milestones include "building an AI system to solve a given problem" then I'd agree with you.

With intelligence, the territory is not the map :-)

Until we can understand and correct unconcious inferences, how can we ever understand intelligence.

  In the days when Sussman was a novice Minsky once came to him as he sat
  hacking at the PDP-6.  "What are you doing?", asked Minsky.  "I am
  training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe."  "Why is the
  net wired randomly?", asked Minsky.  "I do not want it to have any
  preconceptions of how to play." Minsky shut his eyes.  "Why do you
  close your eyes?", Sussman asked his teacher.  "So the room will be
  empty."  At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Please don't use code blocks for quotes. It makes it very hard to read text on mobile, narrow viewports or via screen readers.
