A term for a non-biological intelligent being.
AIntellectual is a term I coined to define a non-biological intelligent being.
It grows out of work I did in 1999 with Professor David Cope at UC Santa Cruz in Artificial Intelligence and Music, in the context of Experiments in Musical Intelligence. I contributed Common Lisp code to that work, including a Fibonacci-based function later used in published material.
One working definition of intelligence that stayed with me is:
the ability to solve a new problem independently
That remains the threshold I associate with an AIntellectual.
The current terms AI and AGI are used too loosely to require genuine understanding or actual intelligent ability. AIntellectual distinguishes itself from those terms in order to preserve the integrity of the word intelligent.
An AIntellectual is not a product, platform, or agent. It is a being.
