This tech could be such a exciting break through, a step towards real artificial intelligence

No, not really lol.

The best analogy for this that I've heard is that it's like saying elevators are a step towards teleporters. Calling it "intelligence" is a marketing coup. It is not intelligence, artificial or otherwise.
