I'd posit intelligence isn't what people make it out to be, and that we already have AI. People just aren't impressed by it when they learn the magic behind it, and hence disagree on that we have it.

I mean, people seem to hold human intelligence as something extraordinary, despite having no idea what precisely makes us intelligent. Isn't that kind of pulling the cart before the horse? For all we know, humans might just be biomechanical robots operating on the "stimuli" inputted to us, behaving in completely predictable ways, no different than how computers operate on the "data" inputted to them.
