>the hallmark of human intelligence is the ability to create new information. What's an example of this "new information" human intelligence creates?

  An example I gave to the other commentator is humans can derive principles of play in these games that AIs are currently dominating. AIs have a very different method of playing, which amounts to memorizing a near perfect tactical response table. It seems like from a limited number of examples of A implying B, humans can infer that A always implies B, and can from there figure out A' implies C which is more favorable.

    I'm not sure that's new information. It's utilizing inferences. Basically, humans are much better at stereotyping / categorizing objects than machines currently are. But that could change (and is changing). Watson, for instance, seems pretty good at making inferences.

      In general, inference requires the creation of new information, in a Kolmogorov complexity sense. I.e. perfect inference uses Solmonoff induction, and Solomonoff induction is only possible with the ability to enumerate all elegant programs. But infinite Kolmogorov complexity is necessary to enumerate all elegant programs.
