The question you answered was rhetorical; obviously humans are intelligent. There is another question that actually has an interesting answer after it. In fact, it's not possible to have a meaningful discussion without answering it. I thought that was obvious :)

Maybe I'm miscommunicating, I know that the question about whether or not humans are intelligent is rhetorical. What I'm trying to say is that "humans make mistakes and are obviously intelligent, so a probabilistic syllable generator can be considered intelligent despite making mistakes" does not necessarily follow because at best they're different kinds of intelligences.

In my rush to be a smartass, I did miss that you also asked what definition of intelligence they were working with though, so I suppose I didn't really add anything besides unnecessary snark (-‿-")
