What you seem to be saying is that the machinary your traditional computer program executes on is capable of executing intelligence.
What I said is thst a traditional computer program (say Excel) is not intelligent in itself, as it cannot, itself, without further input from a human, adapt.

Excel is as capable of adapting to new input as any AI, and the input need not come from a human specifically: the act of adapting to input is an automatic consequence of being able to perform linear regression. In fact, this is the real value of a spreadsheet over a piece of gridded paper where the sums are done by hand. If "adapting to input" is your test for intelligence, however, it is a test which a thermostat will pass.

I said 'sensory input', as in, "any primary, real world data". Can I just download excel, and without feeding it machine learning algorithms, feed it a bunch of videos or text and have it learn history? >If "adapting to input" is your test for intelligence, however, it is a test which a thermostat will pass. Not just adapting to specific input the system is designed for, adapt it to ANY input. A thermostats function will never change on its own without modification, just like excels, or whatever other traditional program.
