As Weizenbaum lays it out here, the whole idea that “intelligence” is measurable and quantifiable is bullshit

This in turns makes it impossible to have “artificial intelligence” because the term is meaningless as you can’t quantify what it means but computers can but quantify.

There’s a lot of “of course intelligence is measurable, of course brains work like computers, of course sentience spontaneously combusts out of fast calculators” in tech; none of which has evidence behind it. It’s a belief system, proselytized to push plagiarism processors.

Would it be possible to have artificial IQ then? It's very clear what IQ is (a measure of performance at certain types of tests, with score normalised against the human population).
