Just ran across this quote, it’s fun to know that the fence posts on what counts as “intelligence” in AI have been consistently in motion since at least 1979!

@simon I can do creativity without plagiarism or fraud, and when I do it I add to the sum of human knowledge rather than polluting it. Computers ain't gonna catch up to what I do. They can't. Sorry.

@MzAprilDaniels sure, not disagreeing with you, I just think it’s funny that the “AI isn’t really intelligent, because of X” argument dates back more than 45 years at this point!
