A 4 year old has "general purpose intelligence". It's an "algorithm" that can learn (from) anything. Can the translating AI solve a simple puzzle? No, because it is only trained for a specific and narrow activity. The same for most other specialized AIs. Alpha Zero can beat anyone at chess. But ask it to identify LEGO toys and it will fail.
Most devices we use are far better at doing their job than a human, which is why we use them. But even if they learn and improve what they're doing they are still only able to do that one single thing.
Also I noticed above that the misconception still persists that autonomous driving today is safer than human driving although it has been proven wrong [0]. It will come at some point but we're not there yet.
