Any sufficiently rapid motion is indistinguishable from intelligence.

As proof, I submit the entire corpus of works by Neil Stephenson.

(Personally I find Neal Stephenson's work to be engaging, enjoyable, intelligently thought-provoking, and charming in a sort of geeky/batty way, but I realize he's not for everyone.)
