Intelligence is just a word. It wasn't intended to differentiate human from non human or genuine from simulated intelligence. All of our terms - consciousness, sentience, awareness, life, etc are too loose for these kinds of hypotheticals. It would be more appropriate maybe to ask whether the process being offered is robotic versus adaptive, spanning tree or neural network, etc. It's not a matter of being fake or not, it's just a matter of how similar it's experience is to ours and how easily we can relate the results of it's process as resembling out own. If you give a computer program the answers to the SAT, then it will score highly. It still has no capacity to care about it. What we see as intelligence in a computer is our own intelligence reflected back to us - piggybacking on the molecular unity of silicon and other glass-like semiconductive materials. It's native intelligence is low level - hot wires and stop-go-stop traffic lights.
