but it does mean that I say it with a worried note in my voice.

It's like still my guess, but like, you know, it's a place where I was wrong.

Guern Branwen has been like righter about this than I have.

Maybe you ask him if he thinks it's dangerous rather than asking me.

I do not feel that seeing Bing has changed my model of what intelligence is.

It has changed my understanding of what kind of work can be performed by which kind of processes and by which means.

It has not changed my understanding of the work.

There's a difference between thinking that the right flyer can't fly

And then, like, it does fly.

And you're like, oh, well, I guess you can do that with wings, with fixed-wing aircraft.

And being like, oh, it's flying.

This changes my picture of what the very substance of flight is.

That's like a stranger update to make.

And Bing has not yet updated me in that way.

No, no, just like, oh, I define intelligence this way, but I now see that was a stupid definition.

I don't feel like the way that things have played out over the last 20 years has caused me to feel that way.

Is there a good definition for you?

Well, if you look at humans, humans have significantly more generally applicable intelligence compared to their closest relatives, the chimpanzees.

Well, closest living relatives, rather.
