Are we really closer to AI in a significant way today? Chomsky makes an interesting argument to the contrary. He points out that any physical system, say the motion of falling bodies, can be closely modeled statistically given enough data points. However, this modeling gives us very little insight into why the system behaves in that manner, i.e. gravity.

Of course, this presumes that the human brain isn't just an advanced statistical model trained by billions of years of evolution.
