IQ takes into consideration your ability to reason logically, as well... 
I think.

This assumes your AI knows what it means to do something "new" or out of 
the ordinary. Really, it assumes your AI is aware it can operate or 
consider facts independently of its knowledge.

Look how much she has to know just to be able to consider a 
CheeseSandwichClass... bread, cheese, composition (or construction), 
fueling needs, self-preservation, spoiled vs. fresh, etc., etc.

The problem in AI is nobody drills down to the REQUISITES! What are the 
requisites for "getting a dictionary, then stringing the actions in the 
dictionary together?"

The problem with a creature not having sentience is that it cannot 
understand death (or ceasing to exist). Even if it COULD understand 
death, it would have to have a reason to avoid it.

Kat: Tiggr, if you don't obtain and consume fuel, you will die.

Look at the implications behind this simple statement and you'll realize 
AI will never happen.

So, how would Tiggr respond right now? :)

Now that I think about it, Tiggr is kinda on life support. In fact, she 
has no ability to choose her own destiny. Someone (including you) could 
come along at any time and "pull the plug" on her, delete all the code 
that defines her, and she'd be dead.

Okay, not those dummmies. ;)

That person simply didn't understand sentience, AI, etc...

There is no partial sentience. You're either sentient, or you can fake 
it real good. What was the "psychologist" computer program ("Alice?") 
that fooled so many people? It so depends on the interactants...

kat + ck = good communication
tiggr + ck = bad communication (nay, impossible)

You're getting warmer!!!

You must build a machine that can be intelligent, NOT a machine that is 
intelligent.

Think about this: an sentient being (or even AI) MUST have provisions 
for the input of data. As humans, we have eyes, ears, mouth, and skin. I 
want to see somebody come up with a machine that can visually perceive 
as good as a human being.

According to a recent article I read, "To simulate one-hundredth of a 
second of the complete processing of even a single nerve cell from the 
human eye requires several minutes of processing time on a 
supercomputer. The human eye has 10 million or more such cells 
constantly interacting with each other in complex ways. This means it 
would take a minimum of 100 years of supercomputer processing to 
simulate what takes place in your eye many times every second."

That's why I say, "Never in our lifetime."
