It's artificial but it's not intelligence. Let's call it machine learning.

Analytical machine learning is an excellent technology for identifying patterns in data.

Generative machine learning is a Venture Capital-fuelled dumpster fire that will crash as soon as people have to pay the actual non-subsidised price for it.

@mrundkvist from Cambridge dictionary "the ability to learn, understand, and make judgments or have opinions that are based on reason: " Note especially 'understand, and make judgments or have opinions that are based on reason:" Neither of the last are apparent in AI - it learns patterns, yes it has the ability to learn. Let's see what Microsoft says about CoPilot "Copilot is for entertainment purposes only. It can make mistakes, and it may not work as intended. Don’t rely on Copilot for important advice. Use Copilot at your own risk." Source https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot/for-individuals/termsofuse. Do they themselves seem to say that it's intelligent?

That does not explain the motive, what motivate intelligent people to learn and understand, only say that they have the ability.

There is no reason for them to use that ability and what will be the outcome of that ability.

@dozymoe @mrundkvist true, but we have the capacity to reason - which is not true for AI. But on the other hand - forming opinions based on slop from the internet maybe make many people equal to AI.

When an AI says 1+3 = 400 it 'believes' so and do NOT stop and think about if it is reasonable. But, I hope, most people 'understand' that it is not possible.

One of the clearest indicators that we have not achieved artifical intelligence is actually mathematical, just as you suggest. The number of important new theorems published in top maths journals has not increased.

@mrundkvist @dozymoe yes, I believe so. And to point to one of the words in the definition above - intelligence is not defined as forming opinions on pattern recognition, but on reason. The thing that the microsoft disclaimer says copilot does not have.
