Well, the example with the unicorn herd has passed
my Turing test. I would have said before I read the background that there is no way in hell that this was created by an algorithm.

If you play with it enough, you start to see that it’s not an intelligence but a mimic, it’s taking your input, tossing them through a network the mimics how humans write articles and spitting out a prediction based on the structure of linguistic data that it’s been shown, and this shows the structure to be much more fine, detailed and predictable than we thought.

Whether it's intelligent is (as the whole "AI" thing in my view) extremely ill-defined. It has an ability to generalize that's way beyond anything I've seen before in that area. Then there's emergent behaviour like the kind of memory and how it keeps track of context that hasn't been deliberately programmed into it from what I read about the system.
