By that example, PostgreSQL itself is a form of intelligence relative to a physical filing system. It doesn't seem like your working definition of intelligence has a large overlap with a layman's conception of the word.

Plus by that example, computers have always been intelligent considering that they were created to, well, compute things several orders of magnitude faster than even the smartest human can do by hand.
You do realize that you need a human, a "SWE", to do the task that I just described? A computer can't do it.
You had a human to prompt the LLM to do the RCA, didn't you?
Your argument is not meant to tackle my core claim, it is to poke pedantic holes. What a waste of my time.
The argument I and others here are making is that what you call "intelligent" is a property that also other tools exhibit which are rarely called "intelligent". You can certainly do that, but that does not prove us wrong (and also doesn't fit what most people would consider "intelligence", as fuzzy as that concept might be).
I agree, thanks for clearing it up.
