AlphaGo is impressive, but it is an impressive parlor trick not impressive as 'artificial intelligence'
Playing a game with fixed rules and a finite set of potential states is something a computer can do.
Designing the computer that does that is intelligent.
There is no connection between the two and one does not lead to the other.
The fact that some of the people developing 'artificial intelligence' have such a limited understanding of what intelligence is no doubt contributes to the mocking tone of some critics.

It seems one actually needs to revise the Turing Test to say that if we want to verify intelligence in a computer, then we need some minimal level of intelligence in the human interrogator.” https://www.scottaaronson.com/democritus/lec4.html https://www.scottaaronson.com/democritus/lec4.html
