Ya sure let's just posit another random hypothesis about evolutionary biology in order to substantiate the claim that LLMs are intelligent.
Or (bear with me) you can recall your (likely) experience proving stuff like SAS triangle identities and reflect on whether that required intelligence or just computation.
What's more reasonable?
Why is your example SAS triangles and not something like the modularity theorem?
Because SAS triangle identity proofs are relatable and I'm trying to make a point...?
And my point is it’s a strawman. Advanced math is obviously creative to those who practice it, and it’s disingenuous to boil it down to grade school triangle proofs
That would be like saying Shakespeare isn’t creative , since grade school grammar doesn’t feel creative
