Captions available
The idea
The word "intelligent" remains too ambiguous, across humans and machines, to carry the predictions built on it — the behavioral standard was a working tool, not a settled philosophy.
In practice
Speculations about machines surpassing their makers ride on the word's back; the philosophy underneath is genuinely unfinished.
Where people slip
An unfinished philosophy licenses no conclusion — it is a reason to argue from mechanism instead.
