No those were never official goal posts. The one goal post was official and famous was the Turing test that measured if a human could tell the difference between a text chat generated by an AI or one generated by a human. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test

Literally the inventor of the Turing machine came up with this test so this was always the north star goal post since computing began. It's a way higher bar then any of the nameless goal posts you mentioned.

Unfortunately this goal post was also just moved recently with LLMs.
