These are false equivalences. The post you're responding to defined intelligence as learning rate. LLMs unequivocally do not learn. You can disagree with OP or agree, but what you have done is out of bounds. You're implicitly claiming that LLMs learn, albeit differently from humans. This is categorically false, unless you count training as some kind of "learning".

That's of course absurd, almost no user of an LLM also trains it. Instead they rely on queries submitted to pre-trained LLMs ("inference"). And don't bother yapping about context windows, it's just not anything like learning.
