Pattern matching is the one thing DL is good for. Which is why it's a good match for CV. Calling DL AI in the first place was a mistake or at least over zealous marketing.

Playing go or chess or matching patterns are all things intelligent begins can do but that does not imply that doing those thing means you are intelligent.

One can argue that the parts of our brain that make us intelligent, the prefrontal cortex that is so much bigger than in "lesser" animals, is essentially an overgrown, glorified pattern matching engine. Pattern matching is the one thing our brains are good for - there's good reason to suppose that quite many intelligence-related tasks can be reduced to a form of pattern matching.

One could argue a lot of things. Humans once argued quite seriously that the human brain was composed of microscopic gears because that was the technology of the time.

Ok, so what ability is worthy of "AI" name?

[jcoffland]

Getting the nations of the world to stop bickering and balance our resource usage fairly and with in the capacity of our planet.

"Fairly" according to whom? One of the nations? Some individual? Or do you want the AI to come up with the definition of "fair"? What if some people disagree? What if the majority of people disagree? In any case, this could be achieved with extreme violence. Do you really want "AI" imposing its (or someone's) will on the world?
