Are you sure? Isn´t one aspect of intelligence being able to use, apply and develop tools? Isnt that the core feature that got humanity ahead of other mammals? As an early adopter, I couldn´t have cared less if AI was cheating in terms of strictly academic terms. I care about results. Lets say we´re working on something together and I ask you what is the 123921 multiplied by 1212. As the most natural thing you will dish out your calculator and give me the result. Do I care how you reached it? No, so as long as the result is correct, reliable, repeatable and quick - AND - I did not specifically ask you to perform the calculation specifically by hand or only with your mental faculties. So this is missing from those tools and because we have to remember to tell them for each and every use case HOW to do it, they are not intelligent.
Truth.
The old human vs animal differentiator was humans build and use tools.
Old as in now widely discredited?

Now it's effectively a lower bound on intelligence.
