This is the problem with the word intelligence, is it's a word that implies a gradient, but one that humans don't seem to apply correctly.
If you take your dog and watch it's behavior you would say it's an intelligent creature. Yet you wouldn't have it file your taxes (unless you were Sam Bankman-Fried of course, the dog probably would have done better). GPT would likely give you far better information here.
Yet we see computer AI and people automatically assume it has human or super human level intelligence, which LLMs do not, at least at this point. Conversely they do not have 'no intelligence'. We have created some new kind of outside of animal and human intelligence that is not aligned with our expectations.
