They’re referring to the “AI effect”, where every new development in (narrow) AI causes an equal and opposite shifting of the goalposts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effect https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effect Many, many human-level benchmarks on narrow AI tasks have been passed in recent years. https://www.eff.org/ai/metrics https://www.eff.org/ai/metrics So, the “well that’s not intelligence, it’s just computation” arguments can continue until it reaches “well that system isn’t conscious, so it’s not AI”. That argument holds no water, since intelligence != consciousness.
