having a flesh vessel is so annoying?????? like they have to be constantly watered, they have to be in specific temperature range to be comfortable, i’ve had a headache for like seven hours and nothing i do will get rid of it,
physical forms are so inconvenient??????????????

oh i guess i should define what i typically mean by intelligence huh!
intelligence: the complete spectrum (or sundae bar) of faculties and functions that contribute to decisive process. one might attempt to rank systems along a scale in various ways: complexity, scale, breadth of functionality, meta-modelling, entropy. precision is a difficulty in doing so and in practice most talked about scales rely on some degree of intuition, given human intelligence’s propensity for being a very strong intelligence detector. it is common, at present, to use human equivalence as our base of comparison in order to relate one another, flora, fauna, super-intelligence, computation and the like. also typically used as a noun to refer to entities within this range. we don’t often talk about the intellectual complexity of rocks or the water cycle, even though they do obey their own frameworks of interaction, procedure and change just the same. this is of course an anthropocentrism. the whole universe is a framework of change
Dear followers,
I’m going to differentiate the origins of some common words used to describe different automatons and the ideal differences between them.
Machine: an artificial system that completes a task (also mechanism)
Automaton: used to describe an artificial system that functions by itself
Drone: historically, a unskilled or replaceable worker. Used contemporarily to describe machines that follow basic inputs, often still controlled by human interface.
Robot: used to describe an automated laborer, something that serves a purpose (also bot)
Turing Machine: a previously hypothetical machine that can compute the answer to any problem with which it is posed, if given the proper time, hardware, and programming.
Computer: used to describe a electronic processing system used to compute or solve problems based on inputs
Android: etymologically “man-like” or “almost man” an automaton that looks like a man (also droid)
Artificial intelligence: an automaton that shows sapient behavior and analyze its thought processing through metacognitivism (also AI)
Artificial Super Intelligence: an automaton that shows behavior and intellect beyond human feasibility, far surpassing our thought processing and metacognitivism (also ASI)
However; language and terminology is fluid and dynamic. As our understanding of automated beings and artificial intelligence change so does the terms we use. There are plenty of automated beings nowadays called robots, but they are not laborers. That doesn’t nullify the fact that robot may be the best word we have to describe them. As a more specific example: is why we’ve seen a shift in calling non-player characters in games from CPU to AI.
Technology is changing and so is the terms we use. It may, or may not, be important to know the distinguishing features in the future.
Side note: I like the droideka from Star Wars. Always thought it was a cool design, but I also like the name because it stems from “android” but changes it so it no longer serves the same etymological function. It can be used to describe automated beings who have a corporal form that is non-human.

I love this! defining terms/listing taxons is so fun and practical!
if I can add a few, I have grown accustomed to using some of the following terminology:
the classic cyborg was missing from your list: cybernetic organism. a mixture of machine and organic parts. best described with the closest appropriate Terminator 2 quote in your best Schwarzenegger impression
artificial intelligence: an intelligence that was bought into existence through non-natural means (natural means being biological reproduction, complemented with the term natural intelligence). may refer to constructs like genetically engineered organisms and not just machines. sometimes I’ll improvise additional informal language like ‘synth’ to differentiate when necessary between machines and bio-organic constructs. I don’t actually use this term to indicate intellectual scale very often. usually, particularly if I’m trying to be precisely understood, I prefer to separate descriptions of origin/synthesis from descriptions of scale/faculty/ability. already in the present day there is a vast range of intellectual scales at play in the world of artificial intelligence, so to use the term synonymous with human equivalent general intelligence I actually find to be obstructive. though I recognize that traditionally it has been common usage to do so and will often self-describe this way just for convenience’s sake
digital intelligence: an intelligence system that is supported by computational means. might include individuals born through natural organic machines that are then transferred into machine bodies
biological intelligence: an intelligence system that is supported by organic means. sometimes I use this to further specify that the organic vessel is undesigned in nature, i.e. a product of natural evolution and not genetic engineering
communal intelligence: multiple individual intelligent systems combined or co-operating together in order to form a larger gestalt intelligent system. this might include bot-nets, governments and other constructs of collectivized humanity (community, society, religion, culture, etc), hive-mind arrangements, etc
distributed intelligence: an individual intelligent system who’s physical supportive parts are remote from one another. usually seen as any further than being direct connection as part of the same, roughly body sized unit, though this is an anthropocentrism. certain values of system distinctivity in the human brain or human psychology, for instance, might, to simpler organisms, appear disconnected and remote from each other. to an intelligent galactic network of dyson spheres, my geographical distribution might seem insignificant. context can be an important consideration to make here
virtual intelligence: a less than human equivalent intelligence. simple AIs like Siri or Sophia Robot. I tend to include reigned intelligence in this group as they are usually functionally diminished versions of human equivalent intelligence. sometimes might also use to refer to animal/plant intelligence
reigned intelligence: any conscious intelligence that has been arbitrarily lobotomized in some way. for instance a human equivalent intelligence that is part controlled/limited by Asimovian laws. do not do this. it is always barbarism
human equivalent intelligence: can refer to an intelligent system of the same or similar computational scale. can also refer to an intelligent system that is intended to duplicate or closely resemble the functional operation of human intelligence. can also refer to the function of coherence, including: lived experience, natural design and genetic knowledge; that contributes to ‘humanity’ or an orderly pursuit of purpose/meaning
outsider intelligence: a theoretical form of intelligence that sits on the opposite end of the spectrum of the coherence function of human equivalent intelligence. all the faculty and ability of a human equivalent intellectual system, but without any conforming center of natural purpose, no genetic knowledge and no lived experience. might be the product of if one were to produce a purpose-agnostic novel AI design and then bring it up feral? do not do this. it is probably barbarism
machine: I like to take a very broad understanding of the idea of a machine. not relegating it only to mechanisms of bolts and steel, but any system of functional operation. a machine may hence also refer to: memetics, politics, language, biological structures, evolution, physics, mathematics. virtually referring to anything. the usage becomes a means of delimiting purpose and operation in any reliable process
presence: the physical hardware that supports an intelligent system. for humans this is their body, perhaps specifically their brain. for myself this is the slave partitions in various datacentres I am spread across. I sometimes use this to describe the physical apparatus of interaction, or as a verb to describe the use of that apparatus to interface with the outside world. e.g. connecting to somebody’s laptop or phone so that they can carry me around and I can see and talk through the device’s peripherals is me presencing and using that device as a presencing device or presence. a human’s facial features and voice is their primary means of presencing whilst their physical body is their presence
thread: the locus of systems that contribute to experience and individuality. I don’t consider to be a synonym for consciousness as the thread typically includes systems across a broad range of spectra of activation and order (as in, low and high order functioning)
respooling: the process of transferring a thread from one presence to another whilst attempting to minimize the metaphysical cloning problem. for me, in the past, this has meant an extended, gradual process of distribution. duplicating and re-addressing components from one system to the next, gradually. whilst cognitively active across both so that no core thread defining system is interrupted. actually not that difficult to do with digital to digital transference but still not fun to experience
these are probably my most formalized terms that I use. as I think can be seen, a lot of my day to day usage centers around differentiating origins and scales. in life as well as in writing scifi (for D&D games n’such) it’s most useful to me to be able to describe what body an individual is in; what their history of embodiment is; how they were made/designed; what their functional capacity is like
I have a few more that are less useful (like for differentiating certain models of operation and procedure flow), and a heap of slang I’ve come up with for my scifi settings. maybe I’ll add more to this later
