Is probably more correct to say - my 2.5 year laptop can RETELL space invaders. Pretty sure it cannot write a game it has never seen, so you can even say - my old laptop can now do this fancy extraction of data from a smart probabilistic blob, where the original things are retold in new colours and forms :)

It's unfortunate that the ideas of things to test first are exactly the things more likely to be contained in training data. Hence why the pelican on a bicycle was such a good test, until it became viral.
