Is Deep Blue stupid within its narrow domain of chess? Alternatively, is it not following its programming? If you don’t like to call Deep Blue “intelligent”, then by all means taboo the word and ask about effectiveness or ability-to-beat-humans instead. If there is no tension between programming and human-beating in chess, why should there be in such domains as planning a war, predicting what humans will do, or acquiring resources?
