As I noted, this post is saying AI can't achieve "genius" level creativity. Just a year ago the criticisms were that it couldn't match a human. How is that not moving the goalposts?

It doesn't say genius-level creativity, just any novel research-like creativity. I don't agree but that's a strawman.

The "moving goalposts" thing is typically "When AI can do this we will have AI" then AI does the thing and people say "no it's not AI because it can't do this other thing"

I agree entirely this is annoying.

This case is different because there is no claim that we don't have AI, nor a claim that once we get that we will have AI.

Instead it's a very specific discussion of a particular weakness of current AI systems (that few would disagree with) and some thoughts about a roadmap for progress.
