Knowledge != intelligence. So many people tend to conveniently forget this fact these days. You know how addition works, this fact alone does not make you intelligent.
Intelligence = ability to solve novel problems. Requires out-of-the-box thinking. ChatGPT cannot learn and solve problems it has never encountered before, thus it is not intelligent. Also, training != learning.
- benj111 4y agoKnowledge would be memorising a big table of additions. Intelligence is knowing the rules of addition to apply it to 2 numbers you've never been shown how to add. I can memorise 1+1. I've never been shown the answer to 47459592271638494 + 3745802297337747488. That for me is a novel problem that would need to be solved. So the fact that I have knowledge of mathematics and can apply it shows I have intelligence. Out of the box thinking isn't a prerequisite of intelligence. It's a special case that humans are good at and computers aren't. If a mouse bumbles around a maze, eventually finds the cheese, and from then on goes straight to the cheese, that would be a sign of intelligence. If a robot does the same, why is that any less intelligent?

- benj111 4y agoFor some value of intelligent yes. The thing is this is basically instinct. At the transistor level a computer knows how to add two numbers together. But then again any kind of AI is going to come down to binary digits so unless, definitionally, a computer can never be intelligent then we have to allow that your example is some kind of intelligence.
