The degree to which modern AI has given up on trying to understand tractable, thinking systems and just builds them by brute force is interesting. Our understanding of cognition hasn't improved even as we're able to build systems that have near-human performance in some areas.https://twitter.com/QuantaMagazine/status/1192107096604590082 …
They were hoping to reach beyond-human levels of intelligence. Just like you can't evolve a motorcycle from a cheetah, the belief is there are areas of "mind space" that are much better than human, but may be inaccessible by evolutionary algorithms, though accessible to designers

But none of that was grounded in a deep understanding of intelligence (our own or any other). Could really go for some Engelbart-style augmentation, TBH.
