I guess it boils down to a difference in opinion as to what it means to be intelligent. IMO, AlphaGo isn't "intelligent" because all it can do is play Go. For example, it can't be taught to play chess without completely reprogramming it. Surely it's using a lot of clever algorithms, but where's the intelligence? TBH, there's not much point to this post, because the intelligence in AI has been twisted more towards your usage almost since the beginning.

I agree with you and would like to double down: Intelligence is defined as "...the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills." Even if Alpha-Go could play chess, manage air traffic control, and play GO the same time, it would never know it was doing that. As you mentioned above, Alpha-Go's "intelligence"is specifically pre-programed algorithms and accurate numeric inputs. If it can't create it's own algorithms or translate abstract data into numbers it can crunch on it's own, then there is no intelligence there. It just "smells" like intelligence.
