I think you have too much information to form a reasonable opinion on the situation. Google is using editing techniques and specific scripting to try to demonstrate they have a sufficiently powerful general AI. The magnitude of this claim is huge, and the fact that they're faking it should be a likewise enormous scandal.

To sum this up "well I guess they're doing better than XYZ" discounts the absurd context of all this.
