This pull request adds a detailed solution for Exercise 'ex_17' in the '1-Introduction' section. The exercise involves analyzing the deterministic view of intelligence in animals, humans, and computers.

Changes:

• Added analysis of the statement: "Surely animals, humans, and computers cannot be intelligent—they can do only what their constituent atoms are told to do by the laws of physics."
• Provided a breakdown and analysis of the deterministic view of intelligence.

Detailed Description:

1. Determinism and the Laws of Physics:

   • Explored how the statement aligns with determinism, which suggests that all events, including thoughts and actions, are determined by physical laws.
   • Discussed how the behavior of atoms and molecules, whether in computers, animals, or humans, is governed by these laws.

2. Intelligence and Determinism:

   • Challenged the notion that intelligence is incompatible with determinism.
   • Presented arguments that intelligence, understood as the ability to process information, learn, adapt, and solve problems, can be consistent with deterministic laws:
     • Emergent Properties: Intelligence as an emergent property arising from complex interactions of simpler components.
     • Complexity and Organization: The role of complexity and organization in exhibiting intelligent behavior.
     • Information Processing: Computers performing tasks requiring intelligence (e.g., playing chess, recognizing faces) despite being governed by physical laws.

3. Implication of the Deterministic View:

   • Clarified that the deterministic view does not negate the existence of intelligence but rather explains how it arises from physical laws.
   • Concluded that intelligence can emerge from complex interactions of simpler components, even within a deterministic framework.

Conclusion:
The deterministic view of intelligence presented in the statement is valid in the context of physical laws governing all processes. However, this does not imply that entities governed by these laws cannot exhibit intelligence. Intelligence can emerge from the complex interactions of simpler components, even if these components operate under deterministic laws. Therefore, the statement claiming that animals, humans, and computers cannot be intelligent does not necessarily follow from the deterministic view.
