We are talking about a computer program that cannot make decisions. Often times human intelligence is compared with the types of decisions the person makes.

It can make decisions. E.g. if you give it a task, it can formulate sub-tasks, then execute them, e.g. by selecting which API calls to make.

Obviously, if you call the model, you define the scope for it, and it can only make decisions within that scope.

The scope is potentially unbounded. E.g. you can give it access to a terminal of a Linux machine which has an internet connection and tell it to do whatever it likes. (Given RLHF perhaps it would be better to give some positive goal, e.g. perform actions which would eventually produce knowledge.)
