There are fundamental limitations with what are in the end all essentially neural nets; there is no understanding, only prediction. Prediction alone is not enough to emulate reality, which is why for example genuinely self-driving cars have not, and will not, emerge. A fundamental advance in AI technology will be required for that, something which leads to genuine intelligence, and we are no closer to that than ever we were.
