In that sense, what we percieve as intelligent often enough is the abillity to do more with less, ie. compression of information. Therefore, one goal is to keep the probability functions few. What happens with ML is just that, it uses much less layers and neurons for context then the brain, but makes up for it in raw speed.
To add to my wild musings from before, the tell in intel might be related to to tell which used to mean to count. Compare that with german erzaehlen and zaehlen. Same for to reckon, cognate with german rechnen (calculate).
That's my layman opinion, that seems to agree with the etymology of reason. Reason > ... > Ratio ... Reor. Reor is latin for to think, or calculate. Arithmetic in its simplest form, addition in the unary system ie. arranging pebbles (= lt. calculus), counting knots, simply counting. Now backtracking is just enumeration and elimination of possibilities. Ratio itself means measure, and a measurement always entails statistical error (does heisenbergs uncertainty principle prove that?).
It's called off-beat, If you mean rhythmic elements like the second base in the arch-typical Drum And Base, the and in One-and-Two-and-...
OTOH assume knlowedge of nothing but the magnet link list torrent file, if you just downloaded the linked torrent files without to procede to download when in doubt about copyright infringement, that woould not be careless.
Your argument extends to how can any string of data be illegal, putting copyright into question, but that's a different debate.
I'm not going to click ads and, most importantly, actually buy stuff to feel better about leeching content, anyhow? How would that not be shortsighted nor shelfish?
