Very true. Perhaps there needs to be more specific words for the
*type* of artificial intelligence being discussed. Gardener's
original list seems to have grown to about 9 - although there's
a lot of pop-psych mixed in which makes it difficult to prune
away the crud leaving the good stuff.
Logical thinking is one of many. I have no doubt that computers
can exceed us in purely logical thinking. But if it can't laugh
at a joke? Meh. It's a computer.
It may replace a lot of scientists though. That's probably what
ppl like Hawking are afraid of.
