> There is no evidence to indicate this is the case

Burden of proof is on those trying to convince us to buy into the idea of LLMs as being "intelligence".

There is no evidence of the Flying Spaghetti monster or Zeus or God not existing either, but we don't take seriously the people who claim they do exist (and there isn't proof because these concepts are made up).

Why should we take seriously the tolks claiming LLMs are intelligence without proof (there can't be proof, of course, because LLMs are not intelligence)?
