Definition of Intelligence:

1. Know how to solve problems.
2. Know which problems are unsolvable.
3. Know #1, #2, and #3 defines intelligence.

This is the correct definition of intelligence.  If anyone disagrees, please
state so and why.

If you take into account the unsolvable problems of Turing machines, then this
proves Artificial Intelligence is impossible.

"Artificial Intelligence" is an unsolvable problem.

Human beings are not machines.

Human beings are capable of knowing which problems are unsolvable, while
machines are not.
