That is why I distinguish intelligence and competence. Competence
tend to oppose itself to intelligence.
But then there is no operational definition of "intelligent behavior".
There is a trivial one. The machine does not assert "I am
intelligent", nor "I am stupid".
It makes pebble intelligent.
Why not? I have never heard a pebble saying a stupidity, nor mocking
another pebble.
Of course pebbles are not quite competent.
They still handle well finding short path to equilibrium, and they
round themselves up very well to appreciate comfortably the river
bottom that they occupy.
If it appears intelligent, i.e. purposeful and effective, it's
mere competence.
OK.
yes, intelligence, is private, like consciousness, but in practice,
with individual close to you, you can have some idea.
It might be that intelligence and consciousness are the same, or
implies each other. I doubt this, but the two are very close anyway.
If it's purposeless or ineffective it's stupidity.
It is hard to judge "purposefulness" from outside, and "ineffective"
depends on the goal.
It is normal than high level attributes, like consciousness,
purposefulness, free-will, intelligence, etc. are hard to attribute to
bodies, even to the person behind, when we are lucky to intuit it. In
fact there is already no algorithm to decide if an arbitrary program
computes factorial, or not.
