Context, and the inability to actually have any understanding is the entire problem with what is called "AI" these days.
Sure "AI" can do a lot of impressive first-level pattern matching, and that can be the basis of many useful outputs.
But ANYTHING that requires actually understanding the context, whether it is existence of new obstacles for a 'self-driving' vehicle, understanding of actual meaning for a language model, or anything else, is a complete and utter failure.
Despite appearances, while some of it is genuinely useful, we're really no further than fancy parlor tricks. Crack even the next level of contextual understanding, and it will be an astonishing leap.
