Do you ascribe intelligence to a gorilla? How about a goldfish?

Would you ask either of them to review a PR? Or a calculator to eat a banana? Or an LLM to calculate prime factors?

These aren't interesting questions. As much as any definition is in use here, we're not going to get much value talking about "intelligence" this way.
