More or less, but "AI" is a bit relative. I agree with Hofstadter
"AI" is when the program are not yet written, and once written we
take them as conventional programming. That is not strictly true,
but there is something in it.
The last time I took a course in AI, in the late 70's, the professor
explained that intelligence was defined as "whatever the computer
can't do yet".
It is the same idea, yes. It is like a beginning of the elimination of
the person for the machines, somehow. It is the reductionist fallacy:
if we can explain the soul without a soul, then it does not really
exist.
I am OK with this, if "realy exists" = "exists at the ontological
level": then neither consciousness nor the physical reality "really
exists". But of course with comp, both consciousness and physical
reality are recovered as "really existing" at the epistemological
level, where all interesting things happens.
