If calculus was already solvable by computers in 1984, while basic arithmetic stumps the systems we view as today's state of the art, perhaps the amount of progress in AI in the last 40 years isn't quite as great as it first appears.
One reason I picked up my old copy of Winston was to see what he had to say about the definition of AI, because that too is a controversial topic. His first take on this isn't very encouraging.
