My mother is a pretty intelligent person by all accounts. Yet I have to tell her time and time again not to write down all her passwords in a password journal.
I write SaaS apps. The code I write and execute aren't intelligent. They obey my commands to the letter - and their unconditional adherence to my code sometimes results in buggy behaviors that I didn't intend. Despite my deepest wishes, my program will strictly obey the code as it is written and exhibit the buggy behavior until the command itself is amended.
If anything, more and more evidences seem to point to the fact that intelligence is the very thing that drives an entity to disobey a direct command and "think" for itself.
