We're learning that people are way too lax with where they apply the term "intelligent". LLMs aren't remotely intelligent, but people are trying to ride the hype train and call them intelligence.
Very much indeed. The term itself is not properly defined, strictly speaking.

Maybe I'm just significantly and unrepresentatively unlucky, but Claude is significantly more intelligent than the average human around me on most any metric I can think of.

this is just false.

by any meaningful measure of intelligence. the latest models are much smarter than the bulk of the population.

how would you define intelligence?
