I wonder if chimps understand where they are headed after the tests. i.e. the nice room were they play games for treats, or the other room where they get injected with various concoctions for unfathomable reasons. I think humans tend to naively apply our own constructs to describe what we think defines intelligence, but this habit does not necessarily generalize onto other species. As an aside, for similar reasons I'd wager generalized AI will be a surprise event rather than an incremental discovery. Recent studies described Goldfish that can remember certain types of problems beyond a year later. Far beyond what anyone assumed possible for such a simple creature. Some people are unique, as I met one lady that could remember 93 non-sequential digits. While she was not successful academically, it would be unwise to play card games with that person for money. =) Primates belong in their own habitats, and should be left alone unless people have a well defined _necessary_reason_ to exploit them as subjects.
