There's a similar saying I like (don't know where it's from, if anywhere)

"Artificial intelligence is a group of problems that we don't know how to solve. As soon as we know how to solve one, it gets a name and is no longer AI."

People say the same thing about philosophy. That once something is well-understood, it becomes a science rather than philosophy.

I suppose this could be the same thing.

I always thought it was more once it got big enough.

> it gets a name and is no longer AI

And that name is typically "weak AI". I wonder if we'll ever have AI that we marvel at even after we figure out how it works.
