The problem is purely semantic. What does AI even mean? Is it AGI? Is it Skynet? Does it mean consciousness? Being self aware? Having a will and desires? Does intelligence have to be deliberate? The latest (and extremely disruptive) language models, are exactly this - language models. They might not be doing anything deliberate, but even as a probabilistic tool, they have value. Even if LLMs aren't really "intelligent", I think we are going to learn a lot from them, and the way they'll evolve in the near future. Perhaps language has a bigger part in intelligence than we realized.
