A law that uses the archaic terms "copy and paste", referring to a time when people would make an analog photocopy of a document written using a typewriter, trim it out with scissors or a knife, and glue it to their book with the pasty remains from boiling animal collagen cannot be trusted to apply word-for-word in a time when technology has obsoleted the glue, typewriter, xerox machine, and even the paper. It is not the same as a human, no, but it's not hard to choose a definition of the word "intelligent" that can accurately describe something that can be done by a program. When a human walks around a puddle, are they demonstrating intelligence? When a horse avoids stepping in a hole, is the horse intelligent? When a robotic vacuum avoids a stairway, is it intelligent? When a self-driving car avoids a bollard, is that intelligent? Whether there's a being inside the device that believes it experiences consciousness or not, the same outcome happens. A Searle's Chinese Room that produces copies of Chinese IP, a trained monkey that does so, or a human that does the same thing, the outcome is very similar.
