> just statistically guessing next word

I think it's more charitable to say "predicting", and I do not personally believe that "predict the next word" places any ceiling on intelligence. (So, I expect that improving the ability to predict the next word takes you to superhuman intelligence if your predictions keep improving.)

I feel like this is so obvious that I am continually dumbfounded that it continues to be the minoritarian position.

That said, I work in the field so maybe have had more time to think about it.
