Thank you for your amazing reply @agmoore. I am sorry for such a late reply, but I missed it somehow in this jungle of comments :)

If we wish to mimic human intelligence, there's a long road ahead. The brain is a mystery to us.

I 100% agree, but we need to consider the fact that AI growth is exponential. So it may understand all those processes far before we do. But I agree that there are plenty of years ahead.

AI imitating humans reminds me of that great movie Lars and the Real Girl The mannequin was effective not because it was true to life, but because it was true to Lars' needs, his perceptions.

I haven't known that movie, but it seems really interesting. I am going to check it out :)
