Question #6

How do you define artifical intelligence?

Intelligence gained without effort and/or purpose.

I wonder if being a bulls**t artist falls into this category?

I think Alan Turing was very clever to devise his little AI test, and I would be very impressed by any machine that passed it. In other words, if it seems intelligent, it is.

But I'm not completely satisfied with that. Is it possible to create a machine intelligence that isn't "artificial"?

OR, "artificial intelligence" is what Colin Powell presented to the U.N. prior to the invasion of Iraq.
