can process a million games in seconds, where a human can't.

A human doesn't need to. A human can apply reason and logic and at least play the game given only a few simple rules.

GPT has poor reasoning ability and doesn't comprehend the rules --- so it relies on database lookup to sorta fake it. Without this, it's kinda helpless. It clearly lacks any real comprehension --- aka "intelligence".

But is that really the case? It's actually not just a database lookup. It is abstracting and compressing throughout the training process.

And it clearly learns certain rules about our world. It seems LLMs can reason, but reasoning is a big field and it hasn't mastered all it's forms, i.e. search future scenarios or spatial reasoning.
