A game that stymies AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) has succeeded spectacularly in certain kinds of tasks. These include playing specific games, such as Chess or Go, and finding patterns in images, such as identifying when a human organ is diseased or otherwise abnormal. It has done much less well in situations requiring more generalised learning, such as in understanding a text, or translating it from one language into another. Worse, acting like a human by expressing--and, especially, feeling--appropriate emotions seems well beyond AI's capacity. AI is good at some specialised tasks, but not as good at more general ones.
