The inventor of AI, a guy named Frank Rosenblatt, in his 1957 work on early artificial neural networks, predicted that that his invention would eventually be able to perform at a human level of cognition, and would “be able to walk, talk, see, write, reproduce itself, and be conscious of its existence.”

That was almost 70 years ago.

There has long been a tendency among workers in this field to anthropomorphize their results; perhaps this tendency is understandable, a sort of observer bias. Those who have been observing the field as long as I have are used to the continuous waves of "hype cycle."
