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

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.

AI is to human cognitive abstractions what cartoon characters are to human emotions.

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.

Do you mean "contemporary AI" or are you getting deeply Searle here.

Unlike Searle I don't believe there is any essential difference between biological information-processing systems and silicon-based information processing systems. The current gap is really functional, and will be closed eventually, albeit we are extremely far from it.

AI is puppetry

Amazing puppetry, but it requires the same kind of suspension of disbelief
