This is the beginning of the Python 3 nonsense, not the end yet. It will end when the Python 3 joke is scrapped and replaced with Python 4 as a SEAMLESS continuation of Python 2.

Bullshit.

Right.. How dare I question your sacred Anglo-Saxon dictionaries, which are the authoritative source of All Truth. Anathema.

All of these definitions are rather lousy and not particularly useful (except possibly for 1.b in Webster, but it needs clarification)

The term AGI suffers from a greatly exacerbated version of the same problem that AI suffers. The problem, mind you, has NOTHING to do with science or technology - it is purely a naming problem.

The term "Artificial Intelligence" is a contradiction - intelligence can NOT be artificial. Intelligence is the ability of a being to get what it wants. It is always organic, as it originates in desire.

Just stop calling it "Artificial Intelligence" and enjoy the wonderful progress that we are making towards getting our machines to help us achieve what we want.

(To be clear, I'm not saying stop calling it "artificial". I'm saying stop calling it "intelligence", because it is not, and never will be. Using the word "intelligence" in the context of machine automation sets entirely unreasonable expectations and inhibits progress. )
