Common fallacies about computing and agency aside I personally believe intelligence is a spectrum and an emergent phenomenon is the most convincing hypothesis.

Common fallacies about computing and agency aside I personally believe intelligence is a spectrum and an emergent phenomenon is the most convincing hypothesis. We have already seen grizzly brain damage or defect cases that result in "missing" aspects. We don't even know all subparts and interactions of our own let alone what hypothetical alternative arrangements could be made - even before its processes engage in repurposing. That however doesn't tell us much until/unless we find a hypothetical threshold and refine it.
