 | Defining intelligence to be super-mechanical is a presupposition in
your post, which I find myself at complete disagreement with, as do
many physicalists.
Why do you need to hang on to substance dualism of the less enlightened
ages?

Everything is mechanical. But there are easy mechanical problems and
hard mechanical problems. Theorem proving is an easy mechanical
problem since it operates within the confines of an axiomatic system.
Applying axioms and theorems ad nausaem with clever search strategies
to make the process practical does not advance AI research. Not to say
that I find that worthless. In fact, freeing humans from the tedious
computing tasks is a very worthy endavour. However, theorem proving
and chess playing systems notwithstanding, we are as far away from AI
as we were the day the term was first coined.
