I'd only make such a claim if I could demonstrate that human text is a result of intelligence and LLMs not, because really, what's the actual difference? How isn't LLM "intelligent" when it can clearly help me make sense of information? Note that this isn't to say that it's conscious or not. But it's definitely intelligent. The text output is not only coherent, it's right often enough to be useful.

Curiously, I'm human, and I'm wrong a lot, but I'm right often enough to be a developer.
