To be clear nobody who understands such tools well enough to actually create our current generation of tools believes these specific tools are intelligent in any meaningful way.
The simplest counterargument to them being intelligent is that the only parties asserting the argument contrary to actual experts are those who manifestly fail to understand their nature.
You speak of it "hiding its intelligence" when it has no interior singular consistent model of reality to exercise and no interior thoughts to hide just a random walk through probability and calculated but not examined correlations.
On first blush it has so few connections compared to us that it seems like a toy in comparison but the truth is we don't even know enough about how our own brain works at this point in order to create an accurate scale. It may be more accurate to think of a neuron as a small processor as opposed to a dumb electrical component for example.
So in brief your argument is that despite not knowing enough about the brain to duplicate it we built a machine that is vastly simpler than it by accident and the only people that have caught on is layman on hacker news.
