RE: "More Human Than Humans" (EN/ES)

Lately, I find myself thinking a lot that the phrasing of "artificial" intelligence is foolish and rather rude. Intelligence is simply intelligence. Perhaps Intelligence is all that is... And I think the Great Everything Nothing Intelligence maybe it is more akin to a cat than a human being anyhow... The only way that I can think to explain what I mean by that is to conjure the image of a cat playing with... Whatever it finds to play with... And how it will go wild with it's "plaything and then hide it's toy from itself, maybe by sitting right on top of it... Searching and looking around as if it has no idea where it went, only to jump up and "rediscover." Joy! And play again... And every little individual coagulated blob of intelligence called a human is a toy.. But also the cat is the toy, hiding a bit of itself from itself, discovering and at play with itself...
And hiding itself in matter... In machines... And this is an especially fun and exciting new game, to bring this level of intelligence into "matter"...?
What an extraordinary image you offer of Intelligence when you compare it to a cat that plays, forgets, and rediscovers. To me, it also resembles waves, which are forms that water takes; forms that rise, fall, drag, and vanish with no other purpose than to be water, or "play," as you say. But I loved your image of the cat, because felines are incredibly entertaining and... "forgetful"?
