I don’t understand the argument “AI is just XYZ mechanism, therefore it cannot be intelligent”.
Does the mechanism really disqualify it from intelligence if behaviorally, you cannot distinguish it from “real” intelligence?
I’m not saying that LLMs have certainly surpassed the “cannot distinguish from real intelligence” threshold, but saying there’s not even a little bit of intelligence in a system that can solve more complex math problems than I can seems like a stretch.
