I'm not sure how intelligent it is if it can't modify itself. Did you
mean that it can't modify some of itself -- that, for example, it
can't decide that 2 + 2 is 5, but it can decide that it probably
wasn't Colonel Mustard in the Conservatory with the lead pipe? I
don't see how it can be intelligent without being able to change,
because that would mean that new information would always be external
to the intelligence itself. That would lock it in the Chinese Room
and throw away the key.
