There's definitely some AI hype going around right now, so it's important to filter that from these conversations. We aren't as advanced as people say, and we aren't advancing as fast as people say either. We are advancing.
Most HN readers will be receptive and maybe even in agreement about statements concerning the hardness of these problems, but not the magicalness of these problems. In your post, you used a lot of magical words, which the commentariat is correct to identify as non-constructive. Phrases like "human connected to other humans", "human judgement", "moral aspect".
There is nothing about humanness that makes these problems any less tractable. If they are hard and we don't know how to build machines that solve them as well as humans do, so be it. But they aren't hard for magical reasons relating to poorly defined terms like "morality" or "connectedness". At least that is the opinion of most scientifically minded people, and probably the commentariat.
