Who said Skynet wasn't a glorified language model, running continuously? Or that the human brain isn't that, but using vision+sound+touch+smell as input instead of merely text?
"It can't be intelligent because it's just an algorithm" is a circular argument.
Similarly, “it must be intelligent because it talks” is a fallacious claim, as indicated by ELIZA. I think Moltbook adequately demonstrates that AI model behavior is not analogous to human behavior. Compare Moltbook to Reddit, and the former looks hopelessly shallow.

If intelligence is a spectrum, ELIZA could very well be. It would be on the very low side of it, but e.g. higher than a rock or magic 8 ball.
Same how something with two states can be said to have a memory.
