some people claim this is artificial intelligence of a lower quality than humans, and these people expect that such mechanisms will eventually match and then potentially surpass humans.
then there's another crowd coming along and claiming no, this isn't intelligence at all, for example it can't tie its shoelaces.
my point was that every time you try to say that no this can't be what intelligence means, it needs to do X, I can find a human who can't do X, no matter how many years you might try to coach them. (for example, I will never be a musician/composer. I simply lack the gene.)
The retort is always "oh but in principle a human could do this". well, maybe next year's LLM will do it in practice, not just in principle, for all I know.
As they say, person who says it can't be done should not stop person doing it.
Heavier than air flight was once thought to be impossible. As long as you don't have a solid mathematical theorem that says only carbon replicators born from sexual intercourse can be intelligent, I expect some day silicon devices will do everything carbon creatures can do and more.
