Yes.
Thank you for the pointer to 2012 technology, I'll take a look.
If you're pointing to human superior abilities to do common sense reasoning about visual scenes, long-horizon visual memory and lifelong learning, composite generalization across domains, causal understanding of video, and then, the integration of all human senses... then surely, there's still much that AI isn't.
My point was, that there is a level of abstraction (like that, which I mentioned: where sequences of actions and sequences of words are not fundamentally different), where we may be becoming computationally equivalent (a video, too).

And where are the 6 orders of magnitude in cost reduction for kg of payload on Mars, or in Mars orbit? You're just playing devil's advocate for max. focus on habitation of surface of Mars, versus any development in orbit of Mars, or of Phobos or Deimos. A clear grand goal may seem more attractive to the populace? Yes. That there can't be by-products along the way, and do just that? No. That ISS is just a distraction? Hell yes. Can distraction be converted into a carrot, or demand for transport to Mars? It can!
All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.
