> [0] before someone responds "there's no definition of intelligence", don't be stupid.
Way to subdue discussion - complaining about replies before you get any.
But you're wrong, or rather it's irrelevant whether something has intelligence or not, if it is effectively diagnosing your illness from scans or hunting you with drones as you scuttle in and out of caves. It's good enough for purpose, whether it conforms to your academic definition of "having intelligence" or not.
If you want to be dismissive and with quick quips that's not a discussion. There's plenty to respond to without relying on "there's no definition of intelligence" and definitely not "so I'll just make one up".
But it seems like you want to be dismissing, not engage in discussion.
Why pretend like I don't care that it works? In fact, that's the primary motivation of making these distinctions.
