(Though we would have used an understanding of its intelligence to predict what it would do. The question is: does it matter whether the processes so analyzed are really “intelligence”?)
It matters for the purposes of my argument, but not for yours. So point taken. I’m exclusively discussing real intelligence and something we can recognize as such. An AI such as you describe would seem to be to be a more powerful version of something that exists presently, however.
It matters for the purposes of my argument, but not for yours.
Given that our arguments are meant to describe the same reality, it should matter the same for both of them. How is your notion of “real intelligence” actually important?
Well, I’m assuming the project of FAI is to produce an artificial person who is ethical. If the project is described in weaker terms, say that of creating a machine that behaves in some predictable way, then my argument may just not be relevant.

That assumption is incorrect.
Ah! This, is the article I needed to read, thanks for pointing me to it.
