In reply to the discussion: Computer passes 'Turing Test' for the first time after convincing users it is human [View all]DetlefK
(16,423 posts)31. I have developed my own definition of intelligence:
"The capacity to become insane."
Insanity is in this case defined as 1. acting against preprogrammed behavior, 2. acting irrational.
A possible proof of intelligence would be the construction of a piece of art (expressing an abstract concept with material means): Crafting a statue has no physical influence on the environment, apart from the waste of its resources. Therefore crafting a statue is irrational and therefore it is a sign of intelligence.
