This is such a motte-and-bailey argument. Whenever people point out LLMs aren't actually intelligent then you're an anti-AI Luddite. But whenever an AI does something catastrophically dumb it's absolved of all responsibility because "it's just predicting the next token".

I'm getting so tired of this.

I think they are not actually intelligent. Fix all random seeds and other sources of randomness, and try the same prompt twice, and check how intelligent that looks, as a first approximation.

On a more technical level very serious people have voiced doubts, for example Richard Sutton in an interview with Dwarkash Patel [1].
