The cluster centers on debates about the definition of intelligence, questioning whether it requires sentience, human-like qualities, or can emerge in AI systems like LLMs without consciousness.

Is "looks a bit like a human from this angle" what we classify as "having intelligence"?
It doesn't have to be human to be intelligent.
by your logic we can't say that we as humans are "thinking" either or that we are "intelligent".
Bravo. You can understand that only if you offer an abstract definition of terms like 'computer', 'computation', 'calculation' etc. If you define 'computing' as something these clusters of regular matter we call 'computers' do, then if would exclude animals and other things. But, when you're thinking in abstract terms, then you come to the conclusion that a lot of things in nature are 'computing'.The same thing could be said abo
While the majority of people invoking the idea of a machine god are being irrational the idea in itself has at least some merit. Some animals are more intelligent than others. Humans far more intelligent than the vast majority of animals, and with tools and cooperation in large societies we live in an existence they are not equipped to comprehend. This invites the question of what are the limits of intelligence. Is it far beyond our capabilities? If so, what does that look like to us.
If LLMs weren't created by us but where something discovered in another species' behaviour it would be 100% labelled intelligence
Intelligence is an emergent property. And neurons or mushrooms can support it.
Can something that's not self-aware - and most likely not even aware at all - be highly intelligent?
"Intelligence" and "sentience" are different things.
Is there intelligence without sentience ?
