The calculation takes time but the inference is from a single snapshot so it is effectively a single transaction of input to output. An intelligent entity is not a transactional machine. It has to a working system.

That system might be as simple as calling the transactional machine ever few seconds. That might pass the threshold. But then your AGI is the broader setup, not just the LLM.

But the transactional machine is certainly not an intelligent entity. Much like a brain in a jar or a cryostasis’d human.

Suppose we could perfectly simulate a human mind in a way that everyone finds compelling. We would still not call that simulated human mind an intelligent entity unless it was “active”.
