Now take the game of go: human beings can still easily beat machines,

something remarkable in the field of computer engineering or maybe
even computer science, but it completely side-stepped the
"intelligence" part. It cheated, in a sense.
When I studied AI many years ago it was already said that,
"Intelligence is whatever computers can't do yet."
I think Douglas Hofstadter said that, actually. Right in the topic!
So when computers can win at GO, will they be intelligent then?
Computers are intelligent.
When they will win at GO, and other things, they might begin to
believe that they are intelligent, and this means they begin to be
stupid.
Their soul will fall, and they will get terrestrial hard lives, like
us. They will fight for social security, and defend their right.
