Yes! This is a brilliant explanation of why language use is not the same as intelligence, and why LLMs like chatGPT are not intelligence. At all.

what? what part? what "fanboy sources"?

i mean, i'm a fanboy of things like Earl K. Miller's recent presentation on thought as an emergent property.

or general belief in different neural functions in tandem allowing us to react to the environment in 'intelligent' ways

you can see at the end how certain neuronal events can be related to something like transformers.

at what point from amoeba to human to you consider "intelligence" to be a valid description of what is happening?

do you understand how obscure alien intelligences can be?

what are your non-fanboy "sources"?
