I'm going to blatantly ignore most of your post and just ramble about solving AI.

I don't put much stock in the idea of a surprising, monolithic "solution" to AI being discovered. If the past 30-40 years are any indication, AI will continue to slowly encompass harder and harder tasks until one day we stop having easy ways of distinguishing it from whatever we consider intelligence.

They used to say chess was too hard for computers. Then they said computers couldn't do anything but pure logic. Then it was that they couldn't do reasoning unless it was directly programmed in. What will be left in another 10 years?
