Artificial intelligence will help us better understand what we mean by intelligence in the first place. In the past, we would have said only a superintelligent AI could drive a car or beat a human at Jeopardy! or recognize a billion faces. But once our computers did each of those things in the last few years, we considered that achievement obviously mechanical and hardly worth the label of true intelligence. We label it “machine learning.” Every achievement in AI redefines that success as “not AI.”
Iain  Lennon
Good point. Like 'magic' or 'random' or 'paranormal' - it's part of the definition of these things that they are unexplainable. What we call 'Intelligence' may have to keep retreating to a place that machines don't go to - not 'complex' but 'thought motivated by emotion'
