I agree. My example for something “AI” should be able to do is to create a CAD model for the Empire State Building or the Parthenon based on known facts and photos.
I don’t think these are “moving the goalposts” examples, they are things that an actual intelligence capable of passing a PhD physics exam should be able to do.
