Playing go or chess or matching patterns are all things intelligent begins can do but that does not imply that doing those thing means you are intelligent.
- PeterisP 9y agoOne can argue that the parts of our brain that make us intelligent, the prefrontal cortex that is so much bigger than in "lesser" animals, is essentially an overgrown, glorified pattern matching engine. Pattern matching is the one thing our brains are good for - there's good reason to suppose that quite many intelligence-related tasks can be reduced to a form of pattern matching.

What if the majority of people disagree? In any case, this could be achieved with extreme violence. Do you really want "AI" imposing its (or someone's) will on the world?
