You are intelligent. But we could get an equally-intelligent reply out of ChatGPT. Ergo, it's also intelligent.

Yeah no, that's bullshit. It's like saying my laptop emits sound, meaning it can sing.

ChatGPT is a type of intelligence just like a dog or a bird is a type of intelligence.

Not sure why saying artificial intelligence is a type of intelligence is controversial, it's in the name...

It's definitely not human intelligence if that's what you are wondering.

Corporations tried selling us intelligent fridges for decades. It doesnt mean it was true. Nor does it mean a procedural text generator is intelligent. It performs well at emulating intelligence but it’s about as intelligent as a rock - it can be used intelligently but on its own it does nothing.
