However, despite the impressive advances in AI, it is still not the same as human intelligence.

One reason is that AI systems are not capable of true understanding or consciousness. They are simply following a set of rules and algorithms that have been programmed into them. They lack the ability to experience emotions, intuition, self-awareness, and creativity, which are all hallmarks of human intelligence.
