Artificial Intelligence - the art of writing computer programs
with function and variable names carefully chosen so one can use
sentences like "The computer learned the concept of roundness." See
also Applied Anthropomorphism.

Barker
Artificial Intelligence - a subfield of computer science devoted
to the construction of extremely complex programs that do not work.
Frank Z. Brill
AI: An attempt to make computers as incompotent as people... THE
TRUE study of making computers think like people is "AS" Artificial
Stupidity... If we acheive this we'll really have human-like
machines... Charles C. Bundy

Artificial Intelligence - An attempt to write programs to
duplicate with a machine the natural unintelligence of the programmer.
Gabriel J. Ferrer
AI is, by definition, things we can't do. Once we solve a
problem, it is no longer AI. Once upon a time, the concept of a
compiler was considered an AI project; once it was actually done, not
so. Corollary: there are no solvable AI problems.
Joseph L. Ganley
AI is the field of study of the Artificial Intelligentsia.
Darrell M. Kienzle
One of my favorite CS jokes: What do you call it when a blonde
computer scientist dyes her hair brown?
