The issue is simple. AI can be characterized by (among others):

1. Consciousness.

2. Generality.

3. Continuous learning.

4. Memory (not) resetting.

5. Complete adaptability to any new situations.

6. More or less intelligent than average human at what they do (which can be more or less general, see 2).

What we're now seeing is that everyone has their own idea of which ones of these they consider needed for AI to be "General". For some it's 1., for others 1-2, for others 1-6, etc. There's so many permutations of this, hence why nobody agrees with each other.
