Does a dog or cat have intelligence?

If you answered no, then I would ask if you don't you believe that by some measure a dog or cat has more intelligence than a rock?

And as a follow-on I would ask if you think GPT demonstrates more intelligence than a dog or a cat.

But perhaps you believe that in every one of these examples there is not a single case where it "obviously has some form of intelligence."

(I am really trying to highlight the semantic ambiguities)

It probably doesn't have more intelligence than a dog or a cat...

Just like chatbots 20 years ago didn't, even though they could talk, too.
