>The goal isn't to pass as human, it's to solve whatever problem is in front of you.

It's worth disambiguating between solving specific business problems, and creating intelligent (meaning broadly generalizing) programs that can solve problems. For the former, what Francois Chollet calls cognitive automation is often sufficient, if you can get enough data, and we're making great progress. For the latter, we haven't made much progress, and few people are even working on it. Lots of people are working on the former, and deluding themselves that one day it will magically become the latter.
