This is certainly a common belief about AI, but it is not part of the slang "AI-complete". That term was coined in the AI community, and is most commonly used within that community. The term means "this is the hardest problem in AI", not "someone outside my community will have to help me". This is by analogy with the term "NP-complete", which means "the hardest problem in NP", not "someone outside the computer theory community will have to solve this". --LC
