>Bertvan: For those who claim to know exactly what intelligence is -- merely
a brain function.
>Chris: 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.
DNAunion: It appears to me that you agree that intelligence is not confined
to a brain, and further, that intelligence is not confined to life as we know
it. Is this true?
