Not to take away from their brilliant engineering accomplishments, but SpaceX and Tesla were dealing with technically solved problems. We (as a species) have been to space, and we know how to build electric batteries and cars.

These were at the advanced engineering stage after enormous scientific progress of the last few hundred years and going all the way back to beginning of physics and math.

With AI we are at pre-science stage, hunting mammoths with flint arrowheads and wooden spears.

Or we had most figured out in the 50s but just not enough compute. Time will show.

We knew how to land rockets?
