A lot of things can be cast as curve fitting! Speech is just a curve of air pressure over time, so a function that takes the curve from a microphone and sends a new curve to a speaker can, if the curves correspond in interesting ways, be a conversational AGI. Curve fitting in millions of dimensions is qualitatively more interesting than the 2D graph paper exercise people think of.
