> but I won't be impressed because all of those things are simple When professionals in the field repeatedly say "X requires general intelligence" and yet time after time we solve them with shockingly simple techniques, the correct response is not to deride the AI for performing under expectations. It's to recognize that professionals have systematically overestimated the intrinsic difficulty of tasks, even really complex ones like photorealistic image synthesis, and propagate this belief through to everything else they say is hard. I don't know what the next groundbreaking AI achievement is going to be, but I'd be happy to bet that the solution is going to be simpler than people expect. And while this doesn't necessarily generalize to everything, since there's a selection effect (though I suspect it's secondary), it does generalize to a lot of very important things.
