>We've had programs that nobody would call "intelligent" to do both of those things for decades. So you're right that if I have separate algorithms, each designed for a specific purpose, that those algorithms aren't intelligent. However, if I have a general system that can learn how to solve a math problem, write a poem, and do a bunch of other things that humans can do, then that system is intelligent.
