Rather in line with my point. To claim that this is not really related to general-purpose AI, when people who build the closest things to thinking machines that we have would disagree with that sentiment, did not seem warranted.

Err, my point is obviously that the AI researchers are too far away from seeing the solution, so their opinion shouldn’t count as anything approaching certainty. This is to point out the falsity of connotation of your original comment. Not to mention that there is actually no consensus among the experts, a factual error in your statement.
