I'd say if anything the average person's perception of what AI can do in the opposite direction. In the mid twentieth century the idea of a near future involving computers/robots that thought and interacted much like humans but never made mistakes was pretty mainstream. People have rather dialled back their expectations of feasible computers since then, to the point the average layman thinks a hardcoded easter egg humorous response in Siri is impressive because although talking to Siri is just like a more error-prone alternative to using the keypad, the response sort of seems like how a human would handle the question.

The average person isn't impressed with computers winning at Go because they vastly underestimate the complexity and open-endedness of Go and wonder why it's really all that much more complex than chasing Pac Man through a maze like their computers were doing quite happily, and even with apparent personality, in the 1980s.
