> Contemporary machine learning may rightly be called artificial intelligence, but to conflate it with human intelligence is folly. It's clearly not human intelligence. It's something else. The same way dolphin intelligence isn't human intelligence, or a calculator isn't human intelligence. These things may be able to tell us something about the contours and limits of human intelligence, especially in contrast, but equivocations or even simple direct comparisons only serve to obfuscate and constrain how we think of intelligence.

This is something I mostly agree with. One quibble:

The process in LLMs clearly differs from human intelligence, but lumping it in with a the intelligence of a calculator is, IMO, making a mistake in the opposite direction.
