Nice post but if I understand the actual development of ai there isn't something real artificial intelligent system out there. Maybe many are named after that but in the end these algorithms only have some more if-else statements than usual.
In my opinion something is intelligent if I can put a problem in front of it and it will solve it. After that I'll put a complete another problem in front of it and it will solve it to.
I don't see this in actually ai. Maybe it's way better than humans in tasks it was programmed(and here's the point) for but that's then the only thing this software/algorithm could do. Maybe google's AlphaGo ai can beat a human in the go game but it cant bring me cola from my fridge if I ask it because it even lack the capability to understand me nor learn my language if it doesn't get programmed this way.
Take a human baby/child, it will learn my language just from observing me. Maybe it'll take a long time if I don't teach it but nevertheless it will learn it. AI in these days wont and it will take a long journey till its capable of things like this.
For sure, it will take a long journey. I like your insight though.
