Hmmm, I am not sure I agree with what was said above above AI being similar to the way we think, especially given the computational processor differences and the fact that most AI is not actually intelligent, but rather mimics being "smart".

Using animal "intelligence" as the starting point is not new. Neural network projects that look to artificially replicate the way insects, slugs etc think and learn has been going on for fifty years or more.

Intelligence is very hard to define. The goal for a lot of AI is not masses of knowledge, but rather learning.

Moll, there are very good neural network based pattern recognition systems out there. Neural networks tend to outperform other methods for that particular problem. E.g. See the cancer research thread.
