Many replies take one of these two viewpoints:

“Ha! Humans win after all!”

“Whatever, brains are just neurons and so is this, therefore human-like AI is still forthcoming.”

Both rather miss the point: “AI systems harbor surprising failure modes.” Yes, humans will patch the problem, and AIs will keep winning at Go.

But those failure modes that •would have been easily detectable by humans• indicate intrinsic gaps in the •structure• of these “deep learning” systems, not just their scale.
