There seems to be a trade-off in policy-space between attainability and nuance (part of what this whole dialogue seems to be about). The point I was trying to make here is that the good of narrow AI is such a marginal gain relative to the catastrophic ruin of superintelligent AI that it’s not worth being “very specific” at the cost of potentially weaker messaging for such a benefit.
Policy has adversarial pressure on it, so it makes sense to minimize the surface area if the consequence of a breach (e.g. “this is our really cool and big ai that’s technically a narrow ai and which just happens to be really smart at lots of things...”) is catastrophic.
