It seems to me that most of these arguments boil down to “it didn’t think or respond like I would expect a human to, therefore it isn’t intelligent.” This isn’t open minded to the diverse possibilities of non human intelligence, nor is it demonstrating a lack of understanding or real limitation. It doesn’t seem to have any sense of self beyond playing characters it was asked to play, yet those characters are able to intelligently select actions towards goals they were assigned by a prompt using creativity, complex reasoning, and deep understanding. This is a difference that isn’t an inferiority or shortcoming. I would even argue that humans are more similar to that than we think. The main difference is that one of the characters is locked to the surface most of the time (not even very perfectly).
