I agree. In fact, I don't like the term Artificial Intelligence. It kind of implies that we understand what intelligence is, thereby able to emulate it. In my opinion, it is not the trait of an advanced species to attempt to create something that we cannot adequately describe.

I mean, all these "structures" and algorithms that people create in software, each a little different than the last, each with different performance/result trade offs. But nobody actually understands the fundamentals as to what is behind some of the very impressive results we are seeing (due to the technology allowing us to throw computing horsepower at it).
