Your right, ALICE is no where near what I would call AI. Its basically just a million text event hard-coded into a database with a standard set of responses associated with them. To me ALICE is a glorified chat-bot.
I don't think that we would need much more extra computing power to create some form of an AI. To create one at the human level may require more hardware but to just create a self-evolving program or set of programs I don't think we need much more. People tend to have this idea that if it hasn't been done on today's hardware by big companies and smart individuals that it can't be done at all. I think thats a grosse misconception.
