Why would being able to quickly reference all of human knowledge be relevant at all? Intelligence is not about speed, it is about correctness, which is precisely why it's concerning that frontier models keep stumbling on things that should be piss easy to get correct.
Else by your logic the exact same model running on hardware that's half as powerful is somehow half as "intelligent"
And no, humans and other species don't learn the way that LLMs do. That's fairly obvious even if one isn't a neuroscience nerd.

It's relevant because it is another type of intelligence I was highlighting.
> Intelligence is not about speed, it is about correctness
What...there is a whole realm of correctness in the example I gave. Just because I didn't say it correctly references human knowledge, you presume correctness isn't implicit in that?
You don't know what you're talking about here. I was making philosophical and neuroscientific references that you are just blowing past for no reason. Lol
"Not being able to quickly reference the sum corpus of human knowledge across all fields, or contextually learn new languages in moments, or grasp the overarching architecture and modules of a million+ line codebase is not intelligence."
This would be a pretty ridiculous statement don't you think?
You are operating on a narrow, human-centric view of intelligence here for some reason... while I bet you would say an Orca is intelligent. So what drives you to place an LLM so low on the intelligence totem pole? This is clearly bias.
The fact that it is programmed is irrelevant. The fact that at it's core it is an ingestion of human data and an output of a prediction of more data doesn't declassify LLM's as intelligent. Unless you are willing to put that same lens against how humans learn. (you aren't)
Not that these distinctions are meaningful in any way, by the way, in light of raw functionalism. I am just annoyed by the clear bias.
