Pigeons Aren't Smart, Right?
Psychologists have studied pigeons for a long time, and I can't even fathom what pigeons are able to do. You can train a pigeon just through learned associations to recognize the difference because they have great visual acuity between cancerous and non-cancerous tissue. They will be better than a trained radiologist one-on-one, head-to-head. It isn't intelligent in that sense because it's not like we're talking about goal directed. The animal kingdom doesn't need all that extra intelligence because it's so powerful with basic learning.
