If you can discern how it works it's not truly intelligent behavior.
You'll know its truly intelligent when you can't figure out how it
works.

You'll get papers like:
"Hypothesis as to the functioning of modules VI and VII of the IBM genetic
neural intelligence."

"Correlation of storage node acitivity with external stimuli in the DEC
evolutionary AI Mark 8."
