Artificial means made by design not by random mutation and natural
selection as we were. And if you don't have a good definition of
intelligence that you can express in words you have something better, a
example. Intelligence is behavior that a smart human performs, and if
someone or something outsmarts than human then that thing is either
intelligent or very very lucky. It is the exact same test we humans use to
tell the difference between smart people and those less smart. What's
oxymoronic about that?

Yes not yet. A man was heard to say as he passed the 20'th floor after
falling off the top of the Empire State building "so far so good"; now that
is optimism!
