"Hi AlphaGo, let's play tic tac toe". Consider me bored of it all. We're not close to anything. The emphasis is on "artificial", not "intelligence". It should be renamed Glorified Calculation.

Nobody else seems able to, especially the AI ("more power and money needed! we're just around the corner!") blowhards.
