> "1. every time AI is able to do a thing we move the goalposts and say, yeah, but it can’t do that other thing over there"
So are you happy that a 1940s tic-tac-toe computer "is AI"? And that's going to be your bar for AI forever?
"Moving the goalposts is a metaphor, derived from goal-based sports such as football and hockey, that means to change the rule or criterion of a process or competition while it is still in progress, in such a way that the new goal offers one side an advantage or disadvantage." - and the important part about AI is that it be easy for developers to claim they have created AI, and if we move the goalposts then that's bad because ... it puts them at an unfair disadvantage? What is even wrong with "moving the goalposts" in this situation, claiming something is/isn't AI is not a goal-based sport. The metaphor is nonsensical whining.
