@lmorchard @leeloo @wolf480pl I guess part of it is maybe that I don't think intelligence is some exclusively human thing. LLMs clearly aren't human-like intelligent. I'm personally confident they're not as intelligent as any primate.
But are they as intelligent as a shrimp? I think they've got to be more intelligent than a mosquito.
I wouldn't turn to a shrimp for advice but they're not *without* intelligence.

@dragonfrog @lmorchard @leeloo @wolf480pl Are the images reflected in a distorted mirror the product of intelligence (of the mirror)? They are coherent, a literal transform of the input images, reflected and produce a recognizable, if distorted and changed version. A traditional function output. Let's add some noise to make it non-deterministic, a wind blowing through that minutely distorts the surface. Intelligible output following from the input, but the mirror itself isn't intelligent.

@dragonfrog I think an ML model trained to speedrun a platformer game is intelligent like a mosquito, but LLMs probably aren't. @lmorchard @leeloo
