I don't remember the source of the quote.

But debating whether the models are intelligent is slim to debating whether a car can walk.

You can offload to the model a lot of work that until recently we thought requires intelligence. The more and better of those tasks the model can do, it's fair to call it intelligence*

Some people have this strange idea that only "whatever humans do" counts as intelligence, despite the fact that a) we don't really have a clue what humans do, and b) "intelligence" is definitely not that strictly defined.

I think they're just trying to feel like they know some important truth that other people don't.
