    Are you telling me that Alan Turing didn’t know what he was talking about?

      Allan Turing was a remarkable and talented human being that was clearly very good at what he did. There is nothing in his field of expertise that qualifies him to have a very good understanding of intelligence. I mean even the Turing test is kind of bad at estimating intelligence. LLMs can already pass them and they are not intelligent.

        Ah I see the issue. You are conflating Artificial General Intelligence with the entire field of Artificial Intelligence. Very common misconception.

        AI is a remarkably broad field that includes but is not limited to AGI. AI is a word used for any function that a computer does that approximates intelligence. That could be as simple as pathfinding, flocking, and balancing, or as complex as object recognition, language, and logic.
