    If what is described in the article is considered intelligence, then the
    average computer program is definitely intelligent. I am personally willing
    to accept such a concept of intelligence-as-computation, but will point out
    that it is perfectly "materialistic" in that it doesn't require anything
    that mindless matter can't do.
