Well, it used to be. But whenever we understand something, we move the goal posts of what AI is.

At least that's what we used to do.

It's not "moving the goalposts." It's realizing that the principles behind perceptrons / Lisp expert systems / AlphaGo / LLMs / etc might be very useful and interesting from a software perspective, but they have nothing to do with "intelligence," and they aren't a viable path for making machines which can actually think in the same way a chimpanzee can think. At best they do a shallow imitation of certain types of formal human thinking. So the search continues.
