Right.  That's what I was saying. 8^)  But my guess is RussA isn't seeing this

And the further point is that general intelligence simply does. not. exist.  
Like the self, it's trickery... an ephemeral binding or syncopation of our 
various particular intelligences.  By this reasoning, one day, we'll simply 
wake up and notice that our car, with all it's little pieces of machine 
learning have resulted in accidentally/stigmergically engineered intelligence.
