Sorry, my use of "intelligent" here was imprecise. They can clearly learn, but seem much less intelligent than other animals that we commonly eat, and not anywhere close to the same level of intelligence of animals that we generally do not eat, such as great apes, elephants, and whales.

Some octopus species use rudimentary tools, which would put them ahead of elephants and whales in at least that aspect.
Elephants and whales apparently both use tools.
"intelligence" is a quite imprecise term. What do you mean by intelligence, can you define?

Is chatGPT intelligent?

You think an octopus is less intelligent than a cow, chicken or fish? Really?
