There's a saying that when people figure out how to make a computer do something well, that it's no longer in the field of AI. I'd say there's some truth in this, in that for many problems we have solved well (e.g. playing chess), the intelligence is not that of the machine, but of the programmer.
I think that in order for a machine to genuinely be intelligent, it must be capable of original thought, and thus unknown input. Known doesn't necessarily mean specifically considered, but that it could be captured by a known definition. As an example, we can easily define all valid chess moves and checkmates, but we can't define the set of images that look like faces.
