It's underwhelming because the titles are misleading, not because the achievements aren't impressive. Beating humans by outhinking them and still using human-like reflexes and all game resources available is like 1000-cool-points, and beating them as they are now is 500-cool-points. Yes it's an incredible achievement, but they get you into the article with a misleading line, and so it's to be expected that all of your hype is deflated as you read, rather than building up your excitement. I just with they'd be honest about the shortcomings in their AI.
It's like the joke from Futurama about why humans don't watch the Robot Blernsball League (basically future-baseball).
Bender: Now Wireless Joe Jackson - there was a blern-hitting machine.
Leela: Exactly! He was a machine designed to hit blerns. Wireless Joe Jackson was nothing but a programmable bat on wheels.
Bender: Oh, and I suppose Pitch-o-Mat 5000 was just a modified howitzer!
Leela: Yep.
