@leeloo I guess evil gods are also a thing, but no, I'm not treating them as gods. If anything, more like Frankenstein's monster. You're right that we'd have to define intelligence, and that'd be quite difficult on its own. Also, the sculpture was a bad example, but the cell one still stands IMO. 1/

@leeloo My point is that emergent properties can manifest even in systems ruled by very simple rules, and can be difficult to predict by just looking at the rules. And human intelligence, whatever it is, is likely an emergent property of human brain. Therefore, we cannot rule out that a similar emergent property will appear in artidicial systems that are not made of neurons without referring to how the neurons are arranged, and how the artificial systems are arranged.

@wolf480pl @leeloo These models aren't intelligent, so much as they're auto-completing rules and patterns derived from almost inconceivably huge corpora of example material originally produced by human intelligence. That's interesting and can be very handy for a great many uses. But it's more computational brute force than intelligence
