What seems to have died is the dream of any kind of useful generalized intelligence Ever read Steven Pinker's "How the Mind Works" and "The Language Instinct"? He makes good arguments that the human brain doesn't have "generalized intelligence", it has a lot of specific modules, and is less like a single organ for thinking, more like a system of organs that work together. Ever considered that progress in "generalised" AI may come about when there are enough "specific" AI modules developed that can be joined up?
