I disagree that * Artificial intelligence <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence> is the simulation of intelligence in machines.*
That is, I don't think it can be called a simulation (obviously ELIZA simulated having a lot more intelligence than it actually had). If a machine is intelligent, that's the real thing, surely? The "Artificial" in AI doesn't apply to the intelligence itself, but to the "substrate" it's running on. This seems to me a semantic confusion on the part of the article writer.
