  “People have been giving human intelligence tests—IQ tests and so on—to machines since the very beginning of AI,” says Melanie Mitchell, an artificial-intelligence researcher at the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico. “The issue throughout has been what it means when you test a machine like this. It doesn’t mean the same thing that it means for a human.”

The last sentence above is an important point that most people don't consider.

It seems a bit like having a human face off in a race against a car and then concluding that cars have exceeded human physical dexterity.

It's not an apples/apples comparison. The nature of the capability profile of a human vs. any known machine is radically different. Machines are intentionally designed to have extreme peaks of performance in narrow areas. Present-generation AI might be wider in its capabilities than what we've previously built, but it's still rather narrow as you quickly discover if you start trying to use it on real tasks.
