They're displaying intelligent _behaviour_. Whether they are intelligent or not is a matter for definition (of what intelligence is) and research of the mechanism, not the observed behaviour. Whatever intelligent behaviour the chimps may display, I doubt they could pass the Turing test. -- Harley I think that I shall never see Poetry written by a chimpanzee. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Harley Davis internet: davis@ilog.fr ILOG S.A. uucp: ..!mcvax!inria!davis 2 Avenue Gallie'ni, BP 85 tel: (33 1) 46 63 66 66 94253 Gentilly Cedex France
