Yes, the sales pitch is always nice. Jerry Mander would write on this, including in his book 'In the Absence Of the Sacred'. He argued that the purveyors and proponents of new technology, the one's who stand to gain the most, always present it's pros and advantages while brushing aside any of the potential cons or drawbacks.
And yes, I agree, intelligence is often too narrowly defined when talked of in the context of AI.
Well its hardly ever the inventor who's trying to sell it, maybe that's the problem. Same thing why your genius scientist won't go into politics : he (or she, its awfully annoying you have to add an extra sentence every two lines these days) simply isnt interested in holding power over others. As for conspiracies , well ... what government would ever be caught doing something so silly as abiding by its own laws :p
