Great phrase/takeway from this thread "Syncopated Intelligence"!
I've already reprogrammed my bluetooth mic/speaker in my Truck to say
(in a somber, sotto voce, male voice) "What are you doing, Steve?" in
place of the tiny accented female Asian Voice that used to say "Powah
Onha" and then "I can't let you do that Steve" for "Bluetooth
Connectedah". I'm afraid to say "Open the pod bay door, Hal" for fear
it might actually manage to open the driver's door and roll me out into
traffic.
I think I"ve watched/read too much Science Fiction in my life... or the
engineers of our time have?

Right. That's what I was saying. 8^) But my guess is RussA isn't seeing this
conversation.
Graphics processors, tensor processors, FPGAs, spiking systems, quantum
annealers, etc. are by in large tackling machine learning, not engineered
intelligence (class AI) or even (necessarily) supervised learning. We are
_blinded_ by what we think we know.
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.
