Yes, Charles Babbage had only managed to model a portion of his Analytical Engine by the time of his death in 1871. It's a huge stretch to think any reasonable guess were being made about the A.I. possibilities of computers prior to that time. And of course the entire meaning of Artificial Intelligence has changed drastically since I first started studying it back in the 80s.
What people now call A.I. was more properly know as rule-based expert systems back then. It's only recently that the rule-base has been pretty much supplanted by a base of patterns augmented by machine learning (i.e., pattern recognition). Anyone who speculated on A.I. back in the 17th century was no doubt imagining a machine of real intelligence, and totally missed the boat on the actual direction the technology has taken.
