But say everyone who posts "stop moving the goalposts" on every internet forum gets their way, the world agreed "ChatGPT passed the Turing Test and that's what AI means now" ... nothing that you said here will change at all? There will still be steps from here to super-intelligence, there will still be the same uses for ChatGPT as there were yesterday, people who think ChatGPT isn't usefully intelligent will still think that, etc. etc.

About the only point of arguing it is if you personally developed Deep Blue to beat Gary Kasparov at chess, when "beating a human grandmaster at chess" would definitely(tm) be AI, and now you feel hacked off that your personal or team recognition has been trivialised by moving goalposts and you've missed out on fame and a place in history. But I'm thinking it can't possibly be that all the people rambling about moving goalposts could be in that position and not mention it.
