What I am looking for isn't so much something that meets our fluid
definition of intelligence, but rather a learning algorithm that can
generalize.  I don't care if we argue over whether it is intelligence or a
clever algorithm.

Imagine a chess playing algorithm that can make inferences and improve its
play.  Then you get two copies of it playing against itself, playing,
playing, 24/7, getting better and better.  OK so we do that with chess.  And
we do it with go.  And we do it with Risk.  Then poker, then insurance, then
sales, and why all the thens?  Why not do all of them simultaneously?

We see where this goes.
