I did that when I was 14 because I had no other choice, damn you SoundBlaster! I didn't get any menu but I got sound in the end.
I don't think conflating intelligence with "what a computer can do" makes much sense though. I can't calculate the X digit of PI in less than Z, I'm still intelligent (or I pretend to be).
But the question is not about intelligence, it's a red herring, it's just about utility and they (LLM's) are useful.
