It's incredible that on Hacker News we still encounter posts by people who will or cannot differentiate mathematics from magic.

Intelligence is not magic though. The difference between intelligence and mathematics can plausibly be the same kind of difference between chemistry and intelligence.
There is Intelligence and there is Imitation of Intelligence. LLMs do the latter.
Talk to any model about deep subjects. You ll understand what I am saying. After a while it will start going around in circles.
FFS ask it to make an original joke, and be amused..
Many animals are clearly intelligent, but I can't talk to them at all.
If you understood anything about this topic you would know that imitation of intelligence requires intelligence. It's the same thing.

let's try this one on you - say an original joke
oh, right, you dont respond to strangers prompts, thus you have agency, unlike an LLM

Human intelligence is chemistry and biology, not magic. OK, now what?
Your brain is just math implemented in wet meat.
it's also incredible we find people which can't differentiate physics/mathematics from the magic of the human brain
