The only brand new definition of AI is the one that came in full marketing speed shortly after ChatGPT, to have us believe that "AI has been solved and is a commodity, now" while all we got were more chatbots.

In the academic fields where this taxonomy matters, nothing much has changed with LLMs, or not more than with DNNs, SVMs, etc. Nobody that's been involved in ML research for more than 5 years seriously thinks "job's done pals, we got to pack it up, after 70 or so years of effort, we've finally figured it out, and that AI we were looking for, we got it".

In 1968 Marvin Minsky defined “artificial intelligence” as “the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men”

I suspect Alan Turing would also have disagreed with you, but to my knowledge he didn't actually use the precise words "artificial intelligence" so maybe we can disregard him.

But hey, your definition is much better established, right?

What you're proposing is in fact a brand new definition of AI. There are terms in use to describe what you want, AGI and ASI for example are more in that direction.
