The Average human is a lot dumber than people on hackernews and reddit seem to realize, shit the people on mturk are likely smarter than the AVERAGE person
And the brain doesn't use the same network to do verbal reasoning as real time coordination either.
But that work is moving along fine. All of these models and lessons are going to be combined into AGI. It is happening. There isn't really that much in the way.
It's always been the case that the things that are easiest for humans are hardest for computers, and vice versa. Humans are good at general intelligence - tackling semi-novel problems all day long, while computers are good at narrow problems they can be trained on such as chess or math.
The majority of the benchmarks currently used to evaluate these AI models are narrow skills that the models have been trained to handle well. What'll be much more useful will be when they are capable of the generality of "dumb" tasks that a human can do.
As a contrary point, most people think they are smarter than they really are.
There are blind spots, doesn't take away from 'general'.
