Recognizing a flower is absolutely AI. https://xkcd.com/1425/ https://xkcd.com/1425/ ok - or a bird.

  If that is intelligent behavior then literally any physical process is "intelligence" embodied, though the magnitude or intensity of this intelligence obviously varies based on what strictly is happening. This is because anything that happens in reality is computable, and you have described a straightforward computation as "intelligence". I actually happen to sincerely adhere to this perspective, as a particular flavor of panpsychism.

    A battery discharging does not recognise flowers. The sun does not recognise flowers. I do not create an excess of energy by splitting atoms, these things are not equivalent at all levels of abstraction.

      Of course not, and it is silly to try to paint my argument as trying to claim that. A battery discharging is not very intelligent, but the GGP implies that this exists as a gradient down to the lowest levels of physical dynamics. Put another way, the complexity of the computation determines the complexity of the result. The sun+flower+ground system "recognizes" a flower by means of striking the flower and the surrounding area with photons and "recording" the result as the shadow.
