> A chief goal of artificial intelligence [would be] to build machines that think like people

"A chief goal of levers (cranes, etc.) engineering would be to build devices that lift like people"

Well we are the most intelligent species known to us as of now. Of course it would be considered the holy grail of simulated intelligence.

Reality instead is, that humans have a potential for Intelligent thought and action, and that they overwhelmingly avoid it with clamorous failures. To simulate that routine would be the opposite of the goal.

There is gain in implementing desirable qualities. Just that.
