*It would be easy to hardwire a computer so that it could do nothing but
calculate the digits of π, but I wouldn't call such a thing intelligent
even if its computational capacity was astronomical. I certainly wouldn't
call it Artificial General Intelligence, for that you need better
software.   *

*I note that ravens and parrots are about as intelligent as chimpanzees,
but their brains are much much smaller. My theory is that if there is
Evolutionary pressure for a land animal to get smarter it can take the
simple brute force path and just make the brain more massive, but that
won't work for a flying creature that has far stricter weight
considerations. So I predict that if you follow neurons in a bird's brain
you'll find far less spaghetti code and inefficient wheels within wheels
then you'll find in a land-based creature that cannot fly, like us. So
being called a "birdbrain" might not be an insult.   *
