From the article:

The physicist Eugene Wigner, who knew both John von Neumann and Albert Einstein, wrote that no one he had encountered possessed a mind as “quick and acute” as von Neumann’s. Von Neumann could absorb vast amounts of information, follow extraordinarily complicated arguments and move between mathematical fields with astonishing speed. Yet Wigner still regarded Einstein’s understanding as deeper, more penetrating and more original. Von Neumann may have had the greater raw intellectual processing capacity, but Einstein was more likely to reconceptualize the problem itself.

Present-day AI appears more like a machine-amplified version of the first set of abilities than the second.
