alt Hacker NewsWe don't call a calculator intelligent.
A calculator is extremely useful, but it is not intelligent.
A computer is extremely useful, but it is not intelligent.
Airplanes don't have wings, but they're damn sure useful, and also not intelligent.
If LLMs cannot learn to beat not-that-difficult of games better than young teens, they are not intelligent.
They are extremely useful. But they are not AGI.
Words matter.

So your definition of intelligence would be exactly equal to a human or some subset of them you choose? Could a dog solve ARC-AGI? Probably not. I would not say they lack intelligence. Same with a fruit fly. What if the calculator is powered by actual living neurons? I think you need to know where you actually think the difference between organic machine and intelligence is before making blanket statements.
A modern LLM in a loop with a harness for memory and behavior modification in a body would probably fool me.

I agree, with unresolved questions. Does it count if the LLM writes code which trains a neural network to play the game, and that neural network plays the game better than people do? Does that only count if the LLM tries that solution without a human prompting it to do so?
