    I’m not going to continue this conversation, but I will say my computer science professor (years ago, before this current “AI” trend) who taught the AI course used the term AI to refer to AGI if nothing else was specified. From an academic sense, that’s what it meant if you didn’t say anything else.

      That feels like a quirk of your professor. You should look into using a definition used by the rest of the field. Your usage makes it seem like your listening too much to people who are trying to hype AI, and not enough to people who are building it or invented the field.
