It was once playfully proposed to permute the actors in the classical 
definition of the Turing test, and thus define an intelligent entity
as one that can tell the difference between a human and a (deceptively
programmed) computer.  May have been prompted by the well-known
incident involving Eliza.  The result is that, as our AI systems get
better, the standard for intelligence will increase.  This definition
may even enable some latter-day Goedel to prove mathematically that
computers can never be intelligent!
