Can a submarine swim?
Does it matter if an LLM — which is far from the only kind of AI, and trivial to include in another more complex AI — does or doesn't match your definition of "intelligent" when it can write fluently in any language (human and code), and also getting near top-of-class results in the Bar exam and the biology olympiad?
Corporations — sometimes used as another example of an unaligned optimising agent — can't drive cars, they have to hire humans to do that for them, but corporations can still be prosecuted for dangerous chemicals (3M); and AI, just like other computer programs, can have dangerous output that you should not rely on (e.g. Thule early warning radar incident where someone forgot to tell it that it's OK for the moon to not respond to IFF pings and it nearly started WW3).
