    I’m going to argue quite strongly that my general, all purpose understanding of the words ‘artificial’ and ‘intelligence’ constitute the ‘correct’ definition for the term, and I don’t really care how ‘ai’ is defined ‘in industry’. It’s not intelligent, therefore it’s not artificial intelligence. You can redefine ‘intelligent’ in this context to mean whatever you like, but unless the general definition of the word changes then it doesn’t mean jack about shit.

      So what is intelligence in your general, all-purpose understanding?

      Are newborns intelligent? How about dogs? Ants?

      You may argue that current AI is still behind an average human adult and therefore not intelligent, but academia is a bit more nuanced.
