When Data walks out of a lab, do you really think people will argue that he's not intelligent in the generalizable sense that humans are? Anyone who has watched ST:Next Generation agrees that he is.

I'm pretty sure the AI founders like Marvin Minsky could imagine Artificial Intelligence being generalized over various domains. I forget which one predicted the by the year 2000, an AI would be able to read all the world's books in an intelligent manner. McCarthy assigned a student to solving the robot vision problem over a summer back in the 60s.
Problem is that they underestimated the difficulties in getting a machine to perform tasks that are simple for us, while thinking that tasks like superhuman chess would be the difficult challenges. They had it backwards.
