Human use of speech acts involves intelligence. Elephant 2000 is on the borderline of AI, but the article emphasizes the Elephant usages that do not require AI.claim0.872

Speech acts are necessary in common sense informatic situations where agents with different goals and knowledge interact.claim0.837
McCarthy's fundamental position: most important features of speech acts are independent of whether agents are human or machine.
Many speech act properties are independent of whether the agent is human or machine.claim0.836
Many kinds of human speech act are relative to social institutions that change, and the exchange of speech acts among computer programs will often involve the design of new institutions prescribing the effects of speech acts.claim0.834

Key question shared with philosophers about successful speech acts.
Elephant speech acts are a step above strings, because the higher levels of the speech acts have a meaning independent of the application program.claim0.780
Advantage of speech acts over plain strings.
If we identify intelligence with the manifest expressions of intelligent acts, we end up mistaking the instruments or bearers of intelligence with the quality itself.hypothesis0.767
Conditional statement about the danger of conflating intelligence with its expressions.
