Hello Alexander,   
      
    BK>> So, my musing analysis leads to this question, when you reach the   
    BK>> point where you can't actually tell if a computer's response is   
    BK>> just a program line, or actual intelligence, can that be considered   
    BK>> the dividing line between programming and artificial intelligence?   
      
    ak> A strange question.   
      
   Like the other Bob (Robert Heinlein), Bob is a stranger   
   in a strange land.  And everybody knows how strange that   
   Bob was.  Had a fetish for redheads.  A real fetish.   
   Redheads and cats.  Especially the cat who walks through   
   walls.   
      
    ak> How do you suppose to create artificial intelligence   
    ak> without programming?   
      
   "Whatever you do, you'll regret it."   
   - Allan McLeod Gray 1905-1975   
      
    ak> So, according to atheists there is a natural   
    ak> intelligence (intelligence of a crow, for instance)   
      
   "In waking a tiger, use a long stick."   
   - Mao Tse-Tung 1893-1976   
      
    ak> and there is artificial intelligence that by definition must be made by   
   some   
    ak> intelligent force.   
      
   "Women are meant to be loved, not to be   
   understood." - Oscar Wilde 1854-1900   
      
    ak> Programming is equal word to making.
