>simply failures of scene construction

Isn't "scene construction" part of AI?

From a technical angle: computer vision and object recognition are AI.

From a philosophical angle: part of human conscientiousness, and intelligence, is to exist in a spatiotemporal frame. This is one of Kant's points[0]. Our intelligence constructs scenes from our sensory input, but we have things like object permanence which have a deeper understanding than simply what our senses show.

I Kant argue with that. But you would at least agree that basic 3d modeling of your world is at a lower level of difficulty than say understanding the intention of drivers or someone giving directions?
