I‘m not saying it’s equal, just pointing out that it’s a good indicator of processing capacity that is necessary to match human intelligence. We are aware of the environment and learn continuously from interactions with it. It should be expected that AGI can do the same.

Your case with locked-in syndrome is interesting. Can human brain develop intelligence in full absence of any senses? I doubt so.

It cannot. It doesn’t reason. Gambling and winning (1-10^N)*100% times is not the same as reasoning and providing accurate answers the same amount of times. If you reason about something, your errors fall into certain categories of fallacies often related to incomplete information. LLM hallucinations are easy to spot with reasoning, they are of statistical nature.

It is trained to practice chemistry and law. The reason it can do those because it's trained on an appreciable portion of all human output on both or those fields. If that's not training on them I don't know what is.
