alt Hacker NewsHappily, I don't need to define "intelligence" here, because it's squarely in "I know it when I see it" territory. It's notoriously hard to define.
I also don't ascribe intelligence to a pocket calculator.

I don't find it's particularly hard to define loosely, but then I don't think of it as a special property of humans other than it tends to be quite high in them. But we are obviously talking about different things and if you're not going to provide a definition then it's not really the basis for a productive conversation.

Do you ascribe intelligence to a gorilla? How about a goldfish?
