Does anyone know if AI systems of any description would be able to cope
with this kind of assertion:

  This statement cannot be proved.

My colleague reckons that it's true by intuition, but in this case
intuition seems to me to be like logic but missing out a step or two.
Can AI systems be intuitive?

Sorry if this has already been done to death on this newsgroup.
