I'm not suggesting NNs should be considered intelligent because of their inspiration from biology. Just that they should be considered intelligent because of what they are currently capable of (though that is way less intelligent than humans or animals of course). But it seems like there is a plausible path to increasing their "intelligence" by dumping more data and hardware at them. Like GPT2 shows quite a surprising amount of structural complexity even though it's very dumb in other ways – it feels like if you could pump a million times more data into it you'd get something that seemed really quite intelligent.
