People keep talking about artificial “intelligence”.
Please tell me. How “inteligent” are our AI if they can’t manage to drive a car? A task that any 18 year old human with some training can do?

More interesting to me is that Apple is making noises about going all in on AI/ML but they decided it wouldn’t help their car efforts. And by car I mean self-driving.
Thankfully, shockingly, no one got hurt and we never got caught.
All of that is training and you'd need to teach an AI all of those steps too. Just because you didn't have proper driving lessons doesn't mean you didn't come to this with a set of assumptions learned by observation.
Also the word “intelligence” isn’t well defined.
Also the word term AI is just marketing. It’s all statistics
There are people making wild claims about the capabilities of AI right now, and it's maybe worth pointing out some concrete examples of AI limitations.
The biggest problem with the word intelligence is it's not actually defined. Yep, we bandy about the I word quite a lot, but consider it as charged as the phrase 'freedom fighter', someone is going to take it much differently than you.
If we look in the animal world we can see 'intelligence' encoded in structures everywhere from single celled creatures all the way up to the brightest human being. This creates an obvious problem in definitions. It's like saying "I'm rich because I have money" and when someone asks how rich you say "between one penny and a billion dollars".
Any claim that says modern AI isn't "intelligent" needs to specifically claim "Human level intelligence at at common tasks" or it really is false, as again, intelligent has no commonly accepted agreed upon definition.
