"Intelligence is not sentience. Fine. But what is intelligence?"
And, for the sake of completeness, what is "sentience"? And do any of us really have either? I know that at least one of my cats was intelligent and self-aware but I've never been sure that these are true of many politicians.
Under some conditions, I may be smart enough to pass a Turing Test but I'm also the sort of bolshie bugger who might just find it funny to fail.
A cat wouldn't even try though a dog might if it thought the test was fun. I've met humans who would fail. Does being smart enough to know how to fail Turing's little tests indicate that I *am* "sentient", that I am not or that I'm just annoying?
