You are just using a very narrow definition of intelligence to mean exactly human-like intelligence. All intelligence is signal processing and pattern recognition. You can give LLM a novel task and it might complete it. Sometimes even well. Sure, you may argue it doesn't "understand" what's it's doing the way humans do (seemingly), but it's still intelligence of some kind.

    I think one could argue that "It doesn't actually understand what it's saying, it's just parroting its training data" also applies to a depressingly large portion of the human population.

    As an autist, this is pretty much how I communicated with neurotypicals for most of my life. Person says something, I pull something out of my database of premade scripts and with any luck, it made sense in context. 😅😅

    I'm using the definition of intelligence from a dictionary. language should be accurate. if AI folks called it "intellectual mimicry" I would have no issues.

    they are attempting to bequeath an endowment based on specious reasoning and the hope to make money; not on the actual abilities of the machine.

    People focus on the "intelligence" part but ignore artificial, and I think that makes a big difference. The name is pretty apt honestly. It appears to be intelligent. It outwardly simulates intelligence. But it's all man made to present that illusion - like an artificial reef.

    Artificial: made, produced, or done by humans especially to seem like something natural.
