If you think about it, autocomplete based on heuristics has already quite some intelligence. At least a lot more intelligence than just the words output of a parrot. The fact that neural nets are influenced by the same architecture, does not mean they could not be plentyfold more intelligent. I'm pretty convinced that the next level, within 10 years from now, will be indistinguishable from human intelligence in a lot of areas. Think about diagnosis of illnesses, predictions of weather and climate, logistics, teaching, driving cars, traffic regulation, prediction of natural disasters, migration,... We people tend to put the bar for intelligence higher after each breakthrough.
