You’re right, dogs can’t do that. That’s because intelligence is clearly a multi faceted and extremely complex concept to define. It’s so difficult to define, in fact, that it seems we’re only able to do so by pointing at things and going “that’s not it.” That’s not moving the goalposts at all. If it were, we’d have stopped at search algorithms back in the 60s and declared AI to be “solved.” You mention the physical world, so let’s talk about self driving cars, the last thing we thought would be “AI” just a decade ago. It’s 2023, and Tesla still can’t stop their cars driving into concrete barriers. Something that the system was built for and, again, pretty much every animal can do without thinking. All of these systems and research definitely get us closer to understanding intelligence (and maybe creating AI one day) but to say they are intelligent is to ignore your own intelligence that knows they obviously are not.
