At the end of the day intelligence guesses. If it doesn't guess it's just an algorithm.

Now, if you step beyond your biases that we cannot make intelligent machines and instead imagine you have two intelligent machines that are pitted against each other. These could be anything from stock trading applications to machines of war with physical manifestations. If you want either of these things to work they need to be protected against threats, both digital or kinetic. To think AGI systems will be left to flounder around like babies is very strange thinking indeed.
