There is Intelligence and there is Imitation of Intelligence. LLMs do the latter.

Talk to any model about deep subjects. You ll understand what I am saying. After a while it will start going around in circles.

FFS ask it to make an original joke, and be amused..

Many animals are clearly intelligent, but I can't talk to them at all.

If you understood anything about this topic you would know that imitation of intelligence requires intelligence. It's the same thing.

If an average human has seen and read all that is written till now, I bet that they can hold the conversation going for quite a long time...

>say an original joke

I asked an LLM if it had a good night with sweet dreams, It said, "I don't sleep and I only dream when I work!"
