All the people working in AI I have ever meet had the same feeling you can read here and there: what we do with Deep Learning is fantastic and opens a number of totally new fields for us to solve, and Reinforced Learning is going one step further, but it doesn't feel like if it were "real" intelligence, not like the general and "plastic" intelligence we feel, flowing in our own brains, it feels more like a powerful tool in our untrained hands.
I totally agree. Deep learning is very good at making sense of our "observation" of the world, building an internal state that, in practical terms, can be used as if we had direct acces to the real system state, and also predicting the most probable next states of the system, thats true, but even if we could make it so perfectly that our agent had magical acces to the real system state and a perfect simulation of it, even in that ideal case, we don't real know what to do with this valuable information.
