Your first definition would include Wikipedia (or even a printed encyclopedia or other reference material, technically it would include a tape-measure, sorry.).

Your first definition would include Wikipedia (or even a printed encyclopedia or other reference material, technically it would include a tape-measure, sorry.). Is Wikipedia intelligent? It is likely both Artificial and General so I think we are there, Skynet is upon us and it is user editable!
This is the difficulty of any definition of intelligence: it fails as soon as it is applied...
- dangitnotagain 3y agoThose things you mentioned are not “mitigating” in the verb sense, the intelligence USES those things to INTELLIGENTLY mitigate “uncertainties”. If you cannot see Wikipedia and a tape-measure as both the product and resources of intelligence, you’re failing yourself somehow. The definition I have given remains superior!
