> you have to judge intelligence by the results rather than the mechanism

This would be the exact opposite conclusion of the Chinese room: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room

I think you'd need to offer a stronger counter argument than the one you presented here.




Actually I think the Chinese room fits my idea. It's a silly thought experiment that would never work in practice. If you tried to make one you would judge it unintelligent because it wouldn't work. Or at least in the way Searle implied - he basically proposed a look up table.
