I can see someone in the future watching a program run and asking "wow, is that ai? A PERSON typed those cryptic letters? No way!"

yeah, we should talk about "probabilistic" vs. "deterministic" behavior instead.

all programs are somewhat intelligent. that's why computers were originally built, after all, to do a part of our workload. If they were completely stupid, we wouldn't really use any computers at all, so yes, intelligence is a necessary feature of every program. the question is whether it has well-defined deterministic behavior or not.
