Pretty much everything wrong about our perception of AI technologies (among both researchers and the general public) boils down to excessive anthropomorphism.

AI is tricky; it emulates exactly the narrow set of human skills it is explicitly designed or trained to emulate, and none of the others. In doing so, it takes every available shortcut, producing a system that has essentially no common ground with the human mind.

AI is effectively a cognitive cartoon -- superficially, it looks like it's alive, but it's really a sequence of crude sketches on paper that emulate human expressions/behavior. As such, a project like Sophia the robot is really the epitome of contemporary AI.

Crucially, the generation of autonomous abstraction is largely orthogonal to the encoding & operationalization of existing human abstractions as seen in current AI systems - much like creating cartoon characters is orthogonal to creating new lifeforms. AI has yet to get started.
