My many teachers and mentors along the way would likely argue that
they made a difference.  That would suggest that at least some of my
intelligence is created by the efforts of human beings.

Does that mean that my intelligence is artificial?

After all, more than six decades of being incessantly targeted by
advertising has made me quite good at ignoring things.  ;-)
