I'd settle for 70-ish IQ intelligence.

What the marketroids are pleased to call "Artificial
Intelligence" is not intelligence of any kind, just pattern
matching.  (With amusing results where it breaks down
and includes nonexistent scientific references or legal
citations.) I've been lobbying for everyone to call it
"Simulated Intelligence", but not gotten much traction.
