Re: What is Artificial Intelligence?
An electric toaster is aware as to when the bread has reached a preferred condition and it initiates the mechanism to pop up the toast and shut off the machine. Many machines have quite different awareness capabilities to perform a reaction. It seems to me that the broad spectrum of awareness involved in intellect is one of the key factors in AI and how that invokes reaction and chains of reaction is rather important but as a rather uninformed observer I am sure there is much more to it.

Re: What is Artificial Intelligence?
To return more closely to the subject, to understand artificial intelligence one must have something of a grasp on natural intellect and it seems to me we are still a bit in the dark on that. Since electronics fundamentally interacts many thousands of times faster than neuron response the mere speed alone would endow even inferior thinking abilities in a machine the luxury of making and correcting mistakes faster than a living brain which, perhaps. indicates that human brains have abilities elsewhere than speed to give them superiorities still to be understood.

I've absolutely NO idea what you are trying to get at here.
Are you cross-reading more than one different posters?

Since a large proportion of humans now in major control of humanity are behaving outrageously differently in comparison to any human I respect I find the Turing test so largely undefined as to be useless.
It does not matter how much; "humans now in major control of humanity are behaving outrageously differently in comparison to any human I respect", does not mean they cannot be fooled by a Turing test.
"machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human."

Re: What is Artificial Intelligence?
To construct a God it’s rather odd
To choose to use qualities that confuse.
Most common things like horns or wings
And rings of glowing light create a sight
That might evoke a bit of fright
Which is OK, but, so to speak, rather antique.
One might squeak by to rely
On components one can’t deny,
Impress, so that, more or less,
By whipping up a universe or two
Requiring neither nails or glue
Would be at minimum a speciality.
But reality intervenes. It seems since this,
Even for a God, exists only in dreams.
This current edition requires admission
Of all sorts of serious, somewhat mysterious,
Lacks and cracks and voracious black holes.
The damned thing is blowing up and running down
To threaten lifespans of a mere fifty billion years.
Somewhat temporary, scary, quite contrary
To the basic charm of solidity in eternity.
So, to negate debate, we must not insist
To persist in older gods (that do not exist)
But must start anew. No more askew
Phantasmal apparitions perceivable
Only to bearded desert kooks, unbelievable.
Our God must thrust its presence
Equally to presidents and peasants.
It must be aware everywhere –
Across the cosmos, to both octopus and pheasants
And the rambunctious colliding galaxies
That bump and generate the planets
We find so comfy and so pleasant.
I would prefer a God not too odd but somewhat outré.
Outlandish in a pleasing entertaining form.
We humans do not relish tails or horns but one head could do
Although, no doubt some would prefer two, to accommodate
The possibilities of multisexual approval. Or, perhaps –
None at all. A gentle nod to the starfish crowd.
No mouth to make ridiculous announcements which, though candid
Must then be countermanded when they go kaput.
It must not speak, but, perhaps, could squeak to please mice.
A rusty hinge would do which crickets would enjoy.
It can seem possible, for mutable construction, to employ
The spark of Lego, which might seem weird but could be cheered
By kids who prefer to assemble gods piece by piece to increase
Creative possibilities. But then, one must put in a word for the nerd
Who with motherboard or fatherboard or big brotherboard
That no longer can be ignored on quantum capability
Which now labors deep to awake AI from sleep to intellect agility
Far more acrobatic in the mental attic than that meat machine
Stuck In our heads which gets distracted by a female lip or hip or
Male torsos with an obese wallet. Therein is where we fear
A real deity can be put in gear to finally domesticate the hairless ape
And calm down countless Adams and Eves in ways no one can escape.

Re: What is Artificial Intelligence?
I believe he or she is arguing that in a deterministic universe 'intelligence' is an odd idea, since it generally implies having an overview and using this to make choices and better ones, taking in more information and cleverness in those choices.
If you set up a bunch of dominoes in a simple formation, we would not think of it as intelligent. But let's say we call it dumb. We then set up a pattern of dominoes at complicated as the human brain. We then set the dominoes in motion, knocking each other oven in millions of miles of patterns. Is it intelligent? Is it even a separate entity? In a fully deterministic universe things happen, or really the universe happens. There is no ownership. Just atoms clattering into others.
