Because we don't have a real handle on what "intelligence" actually is, any use of the word without defining it is essentially just noise.

Yeah this is exactly it. It’s interesting seeing a precision-oriented discipline (engineering) running into the inherently very, very muddy world of semantics.

“What do you mean it’s not intelligent?! It passed Test X!”

“Yes and now that tells us Test X was not a good test for whatever it is we refer to as ‘intelligence’”
