So, given that I don't see much of a possibility of free will existing (as discussed), I guess you wouldn't consider humans intelligent.
Jeez, you set pretty high standards 
I didn't say I was familiar with 'information theory', whatever that is.
I think you are talking about a different kind of information to the information I'm thinking of. Information is a step down from knowledge. I'm talking about information in relation to data and knowledge, in terms of how far data has been processed into knowledge, not as a subjective entity. I don't really see the relevance of it to AI if it's only information when you didn't know about it already. That removes the possibility of storing it as part of long-term memory - as soon as you know it it's not information - so it's a pretty useless definition to me. It seems more concerned with the acquisition and transferral of information than the storage of it.
I do not mean to give the impression that computers will never be able to be intelliegent (or consious), only that a piece of software (such as a graph generation program) is not intelligent.
Err... so computers might be intelligent, but software won't be? Of course software won't be intelligent, software doesn't do anything on its own, it has a symbiotic relationship with hardware. When you bring them together you have a computer, so what are you trying to say here?
