In what world is "AI" limited to agents? If it were, less than 1% of AI folks would be working on "AI". And does a convnet have a goal?

No. That's ML. The creeping expansion of "AI" is part of what got us in this mess.

ML is adaptive. AI has goals. 99% of programming fits neither description.

Convnets are useful for perception, though, so are a necessary precondition for embodied AI. They aren't AI on their own however.

Programs ⊃ Adaptive programs (ML) ⊃ Intentional programs (AI)

At this point you're just making up your own definitions, contradicting how the entire field uses these words...

They'll come around eventually.

But I hardly think it's a fringe view that agency is critical for general AI.
