Sigh. Here they go alternating from AI is a "super genius threat" to "it isn't that smart".

Maybe an objective, honest and non-clickbait "Current State of AI" would mean they wouldn't have to swing from one extreme to the other every few months.

However you define "smart", currently AI is mostly domain-specific "smart". Though there have been advances in general AI (non-domain specific AI), but we are nowhere close an autonomous generalized AI.

The state of AI is such that it can be used to detect faces from a crowd to falsely arrest you, deny you a home loan based on nothing, cut you off from social media based on a misunderstanding, and still can't transfer knowledge between domains.

...and still can't avoid running over pedestrians because they were pushing bikes which confused it.

It’s possible to be both you know. I can think of at least one example of a moron who is also a veritable genius at being threatening.
