> So you think the thing, who holds more control/force at doing arbitrary things as the thing sees fit, is more intelligent? That sounds to me more like the definition of power, not intelligence.

I want to address this item. I think not about control or comparing something to something. I think intelligence is having at least some/any voluntary thinking. A cat can't do math or write text, but he can think on his own volition and is therefore intelligent being. A CPU running some externally predefined commands, is not intelligent, yet.

I wonder if LLM can be stepping stone to intelligence or not, but it is not clear for me.

I like the idea of voluntary thinking very much, but I have no idea how to properly formalize or define it.
