Does it have to be deterministic though? Can a program be open-ended to the effect that process is optimized and outcome is undetermined? (Perhaps navigating the world like that is “intelligence” without the “artificial.”) I think AI is capable of learning on its own though, or at least programming other algorithms without human input. And one of the issues there is that once it learns language, as you point out, it will be able to do things we can’t really fathom right now, I think.

Thanks for the sequence rec. I’ll check it out!
