As someone who has been into AI since the mid-90s, I continue to be deeply disappointed with the overall rate of progress, this includes with all of the machine-learning and stats based recasting of what's meant by AI.
The big fundamental problems are all the same, and we don't appear to have much progress on them. We have figured out very clever ways of teaching extremely useful new tricks to computers. I don't mean to denigrate the value of that work, it just resembles regular programming, but by different means.
Whatever your definition of intelligence, there's little to no generalizability of what's happening right now.
