That's YOUR definition of intelligence anyway. LLMs fundamentally aren't intelligent because they cannot solve novel problems. It's literally just a complex auto complete that interpolates data from problems already solved by humans. It has no capacity to actually reason about anything.

Please tell me your definition of intelligence.

On a related note, I keep hearing that LLMs will never do X. As a teacher, I doubt that very many if any of my students can do X. LLMs may not be the perfect/God-like problem solver, but they are much smarter than anyone I work with at the community college.

you’re at community college, what do you expect? geniuses? in my basic math undergrad i encountered the limits of GPT daily, with a complete inability to solve anything above maybe freshman or sophomore level proofs. forget anything complex that hasn’t been answered extensively on stack overflow already.
