   Hey,   
      
       I was wondering about the progress of AI. Simply put, why dont we   
   see machines reading books, watching movies and giving their OPINION?   
   Why is AI presented as something good for chess playing? (which I think   
   should only be a statistical approach anyway.)   
      
   Thanks.
