True artificial intelligence is improbable.

IntelligenceIt is easy to conceive of how it is possible to make a program "which allows new ideas to evolve from previously known information".It would need a memory, and a complex set of ways to compare and contrast information.That's not all that different from how humans build intelligence. We take in sensory data from our surroundings, some consciously, some subconsciously, over time again somewhat consciously and somewhat subconsciously we put things together and draw conclusions that we then apply to everyday life to pursue new things and consequently gather new information that is run through the same process.The mechanisms of how this works is complex, but that's intelligence in a nutshell.PlankingAs for Planking and what purpose it might serve to a potential computer program consider this...UtilitarianismLogically everything has a reason for it and reasons upon the reasons, except for happiness. You want to be happy to be happy, no other reason. Everything else has another reason. Utilitarianism is a theory of logic, morality, and ethics that most logical, moral, and ethical thing to do is what ever increases everybody's happiness. One's own happiness would figure into it. For one thing to be good for anyone else's happiness you have to have some yourself.Now imagine a robot programmed to be utilitarian or alternatively you even programmed a hedonistic robot. Hedonism refers to considering only your own happiness. Or a robot could even be programmed to be logical but still have some experience of feelings and then rationalize that the most logical thing to do is to pursue happiness and pleasure.Now imagine that this robot was programmed to respond positively and negatively to certain sets of sensations, sounds, etc. at first, but with a framework that sets in motion certain complex sets of rules that determine how these responses and preferences change in response to the robot's observations in the environment. This would make the robot's development of likes and dislikes almost indistinguishable from a human's. All our preferences must also come from somewhere. These things don't happen for no reason. Psychology has already shown how past events shape us in the future, and how temperament at birth even factors in.The only difference here is the robot would be conscious of it.Easy fix. Program the robot's central processing unit, the part of its hardwire responsible for most of its movements, its decisions, etc. to not be aware of the rest of the robot's brain, but still programmed so the rest of it is stored information that is fed into the central processing unit. Make the robot somewhat capable of looking into the rest of it, but not without conscious choice and effort and not an unlimited ability to do that. Make another part still completely inaccessible.Then you have a robot with a conscious mind, a subconscious mind, and an unconscious mind.If the robot was programmed with a framework to potentially develop a wide range of interests, pleasures in interaction with a wide variety of environmental stimuli the robot could develop a sense of humor through thought processes hidden in its subconscious leading it to get a kick out of that YouTube video or even try to post one itself.ImaginationImagination, creativity, and originality, our ability to do those things still all comes from somewhere, the ability for it to develop is encoded in our DNA, and its development is dependent on our environment. We already have science on some of the neurology of it. We know for example that these things are more active in the right hemisphere than the left. Replicate a similar set of processes as the human brain and you will get True A.I.
