Logic Binary?

Does electricity choosing the right path in logic chips in AND , OR , xOR, ETC gates mean that electricity is a form of intelligence albeit very low intelligence ??

Those gates are what made microprocessors possible.

@Azlotto of course. But what about the question ?

Azlotto · M

@krass The path of least resistance.

@Azlotto so is this a form of intelligence ?

No.
Physics.
Or in other words, intelligence as we know it is built from not intelligent entities, emerges from them but (except when researching something knowledge related) so not need a previous existing intelligence to emerge.

@Azlotto exactly the point I would make; the path of least resistance shows a lack of intelligence as there is no choice to go the easiest way. A choice is proven when you have to take the alternative, this is equally true in human beings as it is in electricity.

@GeniUs So choosing one path between AND or OR is the path of least resistance?

@krass
The word "choose" is a missrepresentation in this case.
The keyword is "constraints".
