It’s more so that the purpose of these tests is to see if the computer can strategize well. The result seems to be... not really, not yet at least.
To take a terminator situation, sure the robot will be a lot better at gun fighting, but if we can kite it with trivial attacks to make it walk into an obvious trap (not really that different from what happens in Starcraft today) then it’s not so threatening.
Nobody denies that machines are better at small tasks that are founded on reaction time, precise inputs, and wide span of attention. But the thing we’re trying to actually get them better at is strategic planning.
