You are channeling too much certainty through the reference to authority. We are too far away from seeing the solution to describe its form in detail, much less to defer to the popular perception.

Rather in line with my point. To claim that this is not really related to general-purpose AI, when people who build the closest things to thinking machines that we have would disagree with that sentiment, did not seem warranted. I was showing that the statement was without merit due to informed folks thinking otherwise.
