AIntellectual: a term for a non-biological intelligent being, if/when that exists.
source: This term is to honor the integrity of what it means to fill the gap left by AI and AGI, which do not require actual intellectual ability. Here, being AIntellectual requires the ability to understand, adapt to, and solve a new problem independently. This term was coined by Marzstar and evolved since her 1999 research with UCSC Professor David Cope on Experiments in Musical Intelligence (EMI) who published many books on the subject including The Algorithmic Composer featuring Common Lisp code examples that Marzstar is a contributor.
"An AIntellectual does not just imitate patterns, it can encounter something new and understand and adapt in a meaningful way, independently.”
“The difference is simple: AI performs, but an AIntellectual can respond to something unfamiliar and independently adapt to solve a problem, intelligently. It’s not just called intelligent, an AIntellectual is intelligent, whether or not it knows or would tell you if it did, is a different topic."

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing peecalculus.
