Well, let's learn to walk first.

Right now we have just massively jagged intelligence that performs stunning feats in math and single-shotting three.js games, and falls flat on it's face in many every day scenarios.

And, it can't even learn.

All intelligence is jagged. Human intelligence is jagged, so is Cetacean intelligence, so is Ape intelligence, so is Corvid intelligence. You could re-orient that statement for any species of intelligence relative to the other, or even individuals within a species. The big problem here is people being so convinced of their specialness they'll just keep sticking their heads in the sand, until we essentialy create God, and by then none of this useless pedantry will even matter. If you can't see we've already learnt to walk then there's nothing more to discuss here.

It can learn very well within its context. And it can leave notes for itself to read into future contexts.

That's learning, whether you agree or not, and whether you like it or not. Baby steps, yes, but walking nevertheless.
