   I'd settle for 70-ish IQ intelligence.   
      
   What the marketroids are pleased to call "Artificial   
   Intelligence" is not intelligence of any kind, just pattern   
   matching.  (With amusing results where it breaks down   
   and includes nonexistent scientific references or legal   
   citations.) I've been lobbying for everyone to call it   
   "Simulated Intelligence", but not gotten much traction.
