Should we ever unlock the magic of the human brain and be able to describe it mathematically, will it still be considered general intelligence or will it just be a <insert the name we give the model> trained on a large set of data?

to be fair, we do not know how close it's to "general intelligence". Could be lightyears away, or could be surprisingly close. We just know that ChatGPT is not general intelligence, but there's also no agreed upon definition what general intelligence is.

or even parsecs away!

"It's not even close to being a form of general intelligence. ... It gets confused for even the simplest of things, especially code.

Congratulations, you just described most humans :)

Except humans can be held responsible.

So it fails your "not even close to being a form of general intelligence" bar.

For me it clearly unambiguously no-contest 100% definitely exhibits behaviors that qualify it as a limited form of general intelligence.

> limited form of general intelligence. this seems like a bit of a misnomer, no?

You're right. However, I use ChatGPT every day on tasks of a generic nature, including things I come up with on the spot. That doesn't mean it gets everything perfect every time, but it has no problem manipulating abstract concepts. It is a general form of intelligence able to deal with new things and arrangements, but sometimes gets it wrong. It is not limited to one specific type of input or domain. So, how do you propose I qualify that it is a general form of intelligence that still has limitations? I agree that "a limited form of general intelligence" does seem to contain a contradiction.
