Good article. I think issues like the mistranslation "The bear headed man needed a hat" really show that what we need is not an "AI algorithm" but AI agents. The lack of common sense that we see in machines is very much intended, it's what makes them machines in the first place.
Humans don't make these mistakes because humans are able to create stories and place even a mundane translation in the deep context of a 'world' that must be coherent. Heads simply don't have bears on them, we wouldn't trust that translation even if we had heard it clearly, and we'd rather think we hallucinate before we'd drive on a road that goes nowhere in an impossible direction.
Algorithms that are just glorified feature extraction machines, in my opinion, can never create a coherent story, so I'm very skeptical about the claim that we will have somehow solved intelligence in the next ten years. It seems to me like we are almost nowhere closer to it than we were decades ago.
