    What you’re thinking of as AI is actually a narrower version, while true intelligence is termed AGI.

    Explanation:
    The term ‘AI’ (Artificial Intelligence) refers to computer systems that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence, like recognizing patterns or making decisions. However, most AI systems are specialized and focused on specific tasks.

    On the other hand, ‘AGI’ (Artificial General Intelligence) refers to a higher level of AI that possesses human-like cognitive abilities. AGI systems would be capable of understanding, learning, and applying knowledge across a wide range of tasks, much like us.

    So, the distinction lies in the breadth of capabilities: AI refers to more specialized, task-focused systems, while AGI represents a more versatile and human-like intelligence.

      That’s everything computers do, though, isn’t it? Pocket calculators would have fit this definition of AI in the 1970s. In the '60s, “computer” was a human job title.

        Unless your pocket calculator can recognise patterns or make decisions, it doesn’t fit the description.

          Really? I would argue that pocket calculators are AI
