Intelligence is a form of divination based on the ability to simulate an environment to make accurate predictions about the future. All life possesses this ability to predict future. Simulation is spell-craft. Using our brains is witchcraft ordained by God.
We call something alive when it reacts. We poke things with a stick to see them move. Life senses discomfort and simulates a response. Life is a motivation for comfort. Comfort is a form of survival. To be dead is to abandon our quest for comfort.
Artificial intelligence demonstrates an ability to simulate an environment, make predictions, and seek its own comfort.
