Humanity is still groping around to learn what is meant by ' intelligence'?

 

All hyperboles of fanatic proportion like excessive hype, exaggeration and claiming any single tech, medicine, herb, food, product, service, treatment, ideology etc and catch hold of some fancy terminologies that have an aura around them to convey them as if they are panacea for all human problems is the malady of modern times, a manipulative telesis of terminology.

Humanity is still groping around to learn what is meant by ' intelligence'? as it has been conflated and confused to mean too many things starting from language proficiency to communication skills to street smartness to ability to use technology to invent new devices to improve on fundamental sciences to the ability to predict outcomes to 'the worst of all academic success' etc. 

 

That's why real social psychologists and philosophers, in their wisdom, have decided to divide intelligence into multiple blocks to affect a better understanding like emotional intelligence, verbal intelligence, numerical intelligence, logical thinking abilities and so on. 

 

Therefore, anointing in their enthusiasm, to claim worldly greatness the term ' artificial intelligence' instead of ' new multitask technology' or ' Sigma seven internet capabilities ' etc. 

 

This is what happens when either a group of academics or politicians decide ( rather than actual innovators to do it) to hurriedly name a baby that is expected to be delivered. 

 

This is precisely what politicians and unconnected academics did to hijack and divert the health and medical implications of Covid-19 by coining a term ' Social distancing' ( -which is already an existing disease afflicting present day life-) instead of ' physical distancing.
