    To answer this sort of question, you first have to ask how one quantifies intelligence in an unbiased and rigorous way.

    For instance, can an LLM be considered intelligent if it speaks like a person but can't do certain math problems?

    There are lots of niches for non-LLM AI models in tech that aren't "intelligent" but can do quite a good job when it comes to narrow, well-defined tasks like image recognition, for example.

      Can a person could be considered intelligent if they can't do math?

      Which math? All math?

        Don't miss the forest for the trees. What I'm saying is that, unless you have an objective and well-defined definition for intelligence, it becomes impossible to classify what is or isn't intelligent.

        The instance i was referring to is the inability of some LLMs to count the occurrence letters in words. Case and point:

          There are native English speakers who can not answer that question.

          are they not intelligent?

            You fail to comprehend my previous comment. Are you intelligent?

                There's no generally accepted answer. That's the point.

                  Yet they still proceed to a conclusion which would require an answer to the question.
