We need to be very careful with moving these goal posts around so that  
we do not inadvertently exclude future generations of baseline humans  
from being intelligent. I am a public school teacher so I know of what  
I speak.

I don't often quote the Bible but when it comes to AI, Matthew 7:2  
hits the nail on the head:

"For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged:
and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."
