Something new != truly novel. ChatGPT creates something new every time I ask it a question.

adjective: novel

definition: new or unusual in an interesting way.

ChatGPT can create new things, sure, but it does so at your directive. It doesn't do that because it wants to which gets back to the other part of my answer.

When an LLM can create something without human prompting or directive, then we can call that intelligence.

I did a really fun experiment the other night. You should try it.

I was a little bored of the novel I have been reading so I sat down with Gemini and we collaboratively wrote a terrible novel together.

At the start I was promoting it a lot about the characters and the plot, but eventually it starting writing longer and longer chapters by itself. Characters were being killed off left right and center.

It was hilariously bad, but it was creative and it was fun.

What does intelligence have to do with having desires or goals? An amoeba can do stuff on its own but it's not intelligent. I can imagine a god-like intelligence that is a billion times smarter and more capable than any human in every way, and it could just sit idle forever without any motivation to do anything.

Does the amoeba does make choices?

Do you make that choice? Did I?
