Very true. Perhaps there needs to be more specific words for the
   *type* of artificial intelligence being discussed. Gardener's
   original list seems to have grown to about 9 - although there's
   a lot of pop-psych mixed in which makes it difficult to prune
   away the crud leaving the good stuff.

   Logical thinking is one of many. I have no doubt that computers
   can exceed us in purely logical thinking. But if it can't laugh
   at a joke? Meh. It's a computer.

   It may replace a lot of scientists though. That's probably what
   ppl like Hawking are afraid of.
