#3The article touched on Turing's expectations for a computer to produce a sonnet and how those goal posts have changed and I have to ask myself would the average person even pass that test today? If you ask a person to say how their day was in the form of a haiku they wouldn't even know where you're talking about. AI has exceeded the capabilities of the average person in a few subjects it would seem. Does that say more about the state of intelligence today or about the nature of consciousness in general?

In what way, and what makes you say so? What 'cognitive bias' is be supposed to be walking with?

From my perspective all this says is that you have a very grim view of others intelligence.

#6Reads more like a dunk than a critique. When the interspersed commentary has to lift that hard for the criticism to land, it’s worth asking whether the Dawkins quotes actually support the reading or whether the reading is just being asserted around them.

I dunno if he's got a cognitive bias but he's certainly been a great example of how being a genius in one field does not make you qualified to even comment in other unrelated fields. And that's been going on for close to 2 decades now.

#9> No. That claim is a myth.
The idea that the Great Wall of China is the only man-made structure visible from far away (whether from Spain, the Moon, or space in general) is incorrect.
From ground level in Spain, you cannot see the Great Wall at all—it’s thousands of kilometers away and far beyond the curvature of the Earth.

Mechanical intelligence and human intelligence are not the same.
We can design and build objects that behave like humans that innately are not. But these things came from humans. They did not come into existence on their own. We have as a species used leverage to move the species forward.
This whole discourse is a complete waste of time.
