Nothing has to deliberately plug values into their brains or meddle with the internals from outside. A rat that is having its pleasure centres stimulated by a scientist in a lab is no longer a completely self organising system but the two of them together are. And they together are a small part of a larger self organising system.
Here again I'm not sure if you're misunderstanding my question or I'm misunderstanding your response. Would grass, for example - to you, qualify as strong ai? In your example of the rat, I'm not sure why you would rescind your designation of intelligence in the event that some outside agent was stimulating it's pleasure centers. Outside agents stimulate my pleasure centers all the time, and yet I remain an example of intelligence, strong intelligence even -while- that's occurring (though my wife may beg to differ). What would that have to do with the dividing lines between non-intelligence, intelligence, and strong intelligence?
I was, more simply, asking you for some off the cuff examples of which extant systems here, on earth, you feel fall on each side of that line. As in (as an example) People on down to rats are strong intelligence, rats down to mollusks are intelligence, and beneath that the rest is non-intelligent. This example doesn't describe my thoughts on the matter, it's not representative -at all-, merely giving you a better idea of what I was asking.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
