Who decides what kind of software gets called AI? Forget about AGI, just talking about the term AI. What about code in a game that decides where the monsters should move and attack? We call that AI. What about a program that plays Go well enough to beat a master? What about a program that plays checkers? What about a chicken that’s trained so that it can’t lose at tic-tac-toe? Which of those is AI? The only answer I can think of is that AI is when a program acts in ways that seem like only a person should be able to do it. Any more specific definitions are welcome. You can’t really have a rational conversation about how AI will develop into AGI unless you are specific about what AI is.
