I claim it isn't just social rules -- part of that is empathy, which is a manifestation of intelligence that I think is beyond pattern matching.
If a white person were mislabeled as a cat, it would be a cute funny mistake. Labeling people as dogs, not so much. Gorillas, even worse. Despite that gorillas are more intelligent and empathetic than cats. Oh, and bodybuilder white celebrity boxing champion as a gorilla, may actually be okay. The same guy as a dog, no. It makes no sense to a logic-based algorithm. But humans "get it".
A human gets it because they could imagine the mistake happening against them, with absolutely zero prior training data. You don't need to have seen 500 examples of people being called gorillas, cats, dogs, turtles and whatever else.
If you want to say that a hundred pattern recognition algorithms working together in a delicate way might manifest intelligence, I think that is possible. But the point is one task-specific lowly pattern recognition algorithm, which is today's state of the art, is pretty stupid.
