I’ve seen this same comment 100 times, and it’s less intelligent than an LLM.
If you talk to actual computer scientists studying these things, they call it intelligence. It doesn’t matter how stupid it is sometimes. All intelligences make mistakes, even confident mistakes. It doesn’t matter that its “just a language model”. Intelligence, when reasonably defined, includes algorithms that produce intelligent output. LLMs absolutely produce intelligent output. What LLMs are not is general artificial intelligence, and they’re not sapient, but they are still intelligent.
You are the second person I’ve met that understands the difference between AI and AGI. It might not mean much to you, but it means a lot to me. I found my people!
The problem lies in how laymen interpret the phrase “intelligence”. I fully understand and agree with your argument in respect to the technical definition and usage, but laymen will not care enough to understand that, and they’re creating dangerous situations because of it.
