I think context and inability to handle certain specific tasks (especially around computer use details) are holding things back right now more than intelligence.
What does this mean? Insofar as context is like working memory, that seems like a crucial component of “intelligence” in humans. It seems hard to define “intelligence” as distinct from working memory and the ability to handle a wide variety of tasks.
I would guess this is about “getting the right things into context”, not “being able to usefully process what is in context”. (AI already seems pretty good at the latter, for a broad though not universal set of tasks.)

I see. In that case the phrasing makes more sense but then I think it’s more false.
