      It’s arguable whether the worm has intelligence of any kind, after all it wouldn’t even need it.Neither the worm or AI has any intelligence to compare because they don’t really think at all

      AI isn’t called AI because it can think. AI is just a tech buzzword for predictive algorithms

        No, they both have intelligence. Intelligence is the ability to process information. A pocket calculator has intelligence. A domino computer has intelligence. Settlers of Catan has intelligence - the rules contain an algorithm for determining who wins.

        What you’re doing is deifying intelligence. You’re making it into a bigger thing than it is. You’re setting “Intelligence” apart from normal everyday information processing that even an abacus can do. The problem with that practice is that now you have no word to describe the ability to process information.

      Well, yes, it is. It doesn’t meet the minimum definition for sentience, let alone intelligence. You may as well be upset with how poorly we treat rocks.

      Actually now that I think about it, you are upset with how we treat rocks. Computer chips are just silicon shot full of lightning and an AI is a function of its chips. We could eventually reach a point where we’ve created a true thinking AI on this substrate but we are so hilariously far away from even the beginnings of that, right now, that using it as a talking point is silly.
