As a fellow ML researcher (mostly theoretical) I completely agree with you. The field of AI is still far away from AGI, and I highly doubt neural networks will lead to AGI. For instance, they can't do causal/counterfactual reasoning; they basically are just fancy curve fitting models. Of course this doesn't mean that the latest developments aren't impressive.
I'm not surprised the public has a completely wrong idea of current AI developments, as even "experts" get a lot of things wrong.

Is their inability to do casual reasoning a mathematically proven thing or has it just not seen success yet? What's the deal with this? I see it a lot so was curious.
