I think intelligence as defined as "mapping inputs into goal states" is pretty well handled by models, and the models may be able to pick and choose states that are sufficient for achieving the goals.

However, the intelligence that's created by language models is very schizophrenic, and the human-level reflective intelligence that it displays is at best a bit of Frankenstein's monster (an agglomeration of utterances from other people that it uses to form sentences that form opinions of itself or its world).

I think that modeling will help us learn more about human intelligence, but we're going to have to do a lot better than just training models blindly on huge amounts of text.

Maybe we're also >50% Frankenstein monsters, an agglomeration of utterances from other people.
