I think that's exactly right, which is what makes it particularly amusing to look back at Hubert Dreyfuses' apocalyptic declarations that computers can't do things that resemble human-like judgment. One of those things was supposedly chess, which required "insight", which computers can't have. But once computers got better at it than humans, everyone kind of forgot about it and pointed at new examples.
