I've often wondered if the quest for Artificial General Intelligence has failed so far because even Natural General Intelligence doesn't exist - exactly as expressed in this comic.
My evidence is the way brain injuries and such can take out Very precise functionality (stuff like prosopagnosia) instead of just generally making things worse in every case.

Yeah, I think we've already achieved human-like AI, simply because of how low the bar is set by humanity. People tend to overrate the human experience IMO. Part of that is tied up in people's belief in souls and whatnot

I disagree with the wording "human-like" because they don't at all work the way humans do (and that's part of my first point - it may be the wrong approach entirely to try to generalize as we seem to do) current systems are better at certain narrow tasks which don't involve hard facts and are extremely bad at others, which they still perform with full confidence and mislead people who think they are thinking.
But yeah, your main point is right: these things easily and regularly passing the Turing Test is a statement about human unintelligence and not artificial intelligence.
