AlphaGo Zero didn't just pattern match. It invented moves that it had never been shown before. That is generalization, even if it's domain specific. Humans don't apply Go skills to cooking either.

Calling it machine learning and not AI is just semantics.

For self updating I said it's an engineering choice. You keep moving the goal posts.

But that is the point, it is a domain specific AI, not a general AI. You can't train a general AI that way.

No, it is not an engineering choice, it is an unsolved problem to make a general AI that self updates productively. Doing that for a specific well defined problem with well defined goals is easy, but not general problem solving.
