Being able to recall all the data from the internet doesn't make you "intelligent".

It makes you a walking database --- an example of savant syndrome.

Combine this with failure on simple logical and cognitive tests and the diagnosis would be --- idiot savant.

This is the best available diagnosis of an LLM. It excels at recall and text generation but fails in many (if not most) other cognitive areas.

But that's ok, let's use it to replace our human workers and see what happens. Only an idiot would expect this to go well.
