What is that baseline threshold for intelligence? Could you provide concrete and objective results, that if demonstrated by a computer system would satisfy your criteria for intelligence?

see the edit. boils down to the ability to generalize, LLMs can't generalize. I'm not the only one who holds this view either. Francois Chollet, a former intelligence researcher at Google also shares this view.

Are you able to formulate "generalization" in a concrete and objective way that could be achieved unambiguously, and is currently achieved by a typical human? A lot of people would say that LLMs generalize pretty well - they certainly can understand natural language sequences that are not present in their training data.

Chollet's argument was that it's not "true" generalization, which would be at the level of human cognition. He sets the bar so high that it becomes a No True Scotsman fallacy. The deep neural networks are practically generalizing well enough to solve many tasks better than humans.

Great, now there are two of you.
