The funny thing is, is that the goalposts on what is/isn’t intelligent has always shifted in the AI world

Being good at chess used to be a symbol of high intelligence. Now? Computer software can beat the best chess players in a fraction of the time used to think, 100% of the time, and we call that just an algorithm

This is not how intelligence has always been used. Moreover, we don’t even have a full understand of what intelligence is

And as a final note, human brains are also computational “tools”. As far as we can tell, there’s nothing fundamentally different between a brain and a theoretical Turing machine

And in a way, isn’t what we “spit” out also data? Specifically data in the form of nerve output and all the internal processing that accompanies it?
