Yeah what we have is an nice improvement for things, but at the end of the day I think everyone is well aware of the limits of statistical methods. What we have is the machine acting kind of like a parrot, it can get good at certain tasks like imitating an artistic style. What we don't have is independent thought or reasoning or the ability to consume a narrative. A machine can make a strange mash up of styles in writing for example, but it can't generate a narrative simply by machine learning a series of novels. The best it can do is copy the writing style. However its still an amazing advance, but for creative fields you see AI enhancing the work of the creator rather than replacing it.
