AI has a degree of intelligence. Preclude even that and you preclude some humans from the same.

- tremon 3y agoShow me your definition of intelligence and I will show you how people might reasonably disagree with it. (The simplest refutation would be that demonstrating intelligence requires first demonstrating motivation on the part of the subject. The current way we interact with "AI" is much more akin to prodding an organism with a stick, seeing it recoil in response to the stimulus, and then claiming that it therefore has intelligence. No, you haven't demonstrated intelligence, you have at most proven it has an autonomous sensory response -- anything beyond that is confusing the complexity of the response with complexity of the mechanism producing it).

- burnished 3y agoWhat? Can you give an example of a being that does (or could) be considered intelligent without the ability to engage in self directed actuons?
- int_19h 3y agoWe don't know intelligent beings that aren't mammals, either, but that doesn't imply that one is a prerequisite for the other. One could reasonably argue that self-directed agencies are an outcome of the evolutionary process, and predate evolution of intelligence, so the latter necessarily comes with those strings attached in nature. But we're past the "in nature" part by now. I know that in my mental model of what intelligence is, a completely passive entity that responds to my questions in a certain way would qualify.
- seesaw 3y agoOne definition I have heard is the ability to achieve a goal in more than one way.
