Few of countless dictionary definitions for intelligence:
> - The ability to acquire, understand, and use knowledge.
> - The ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations
> - The ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (such as tests)
> - The act of understanding
> - The ability to learn, understand, and make judgments or have opinions that are based on reason
> - It can be described as the ability to perceive or infer information; and to retain it as knowledge to be applied to adaptive behaviors within an environment or context.
There isn't even concensus on what intelligence actually means yet here you are declaring "AI is not intelligence" what ever that even means.
Artificial Intelligence is a term in computer science that describes a system that's able to perform *any* task that would normally require human intelligence. Atari chess engine is an intelligent system. It's *narrowly* intelligent as opposed to humans that are *generally* intelligent but it's intelligent nevertheless.

You’re more precisely right, but also the aforementioned person is not wrong. Intelligence is a broad term as we’re discovering. Truth is, we don’t have the language to effectively communicate about AGI in the ways we’d like to. We don’t know if consciousness is a prerequisite to truly generalizable intelligence, we don’t even know what consciousness is, we don’t know what dimensions truly matter here. Is intelligence a dimension of consciousness, meaning you can have some intelligence without being conscious? What’s the limit, why? … We need some discovery around the taxonomy/topology of consciousness.

I mean, every one of those definitions do not apply to LLMs.
