When I had a finger poked in the pie of AI back in England I got the distinct impression that the definition of intelligence was geared to be just beyond whatever current AI research could achieve. Perhaps intelligence is terminal. Consider Harlan Ellison's introduction to "Strange Wine": "Now, revealed at last !!!!!!!!!!! What really happened to the dinosaurs, and how you don't look to good yourself." The key point was all those jerks watching TV. (definition: TV (abbreviation for Televison) an advanced form of animated graphics.)
