Could you expand on why you don't believe "intelligence" is an appropriate word? I guess I don't understand why a system built on "statistical modelling" would be incompatible with a system that has properties of "intelligence". We use "intelligence" fairly loosely already. Significantly less intellectually capable animals are often referred to as "intelligent" – pigs, dogs, etc. Plus, the field of research applied "statistical modelling" belongs to literally is artificial "intelligence". I think it's fine (perhaps even appropriate) to refer to artificial systems which perform intellectual tasks as forms of intelligence. > For example, in Real Time Analytics, there is something called a 'sketch', which though clever statistical techniques allows approximations of such things like top 10, average etc This is a very narrow and weak example of artificial intelligence in my opinion. I don't think the issue here is the word "intelligence", it's more that people tend to use human intelligence as the benchmark for what it means to be "intelligent". So when someone says something like "ChatGPT is intelligent" there is a subset of people who get annoyed because they think that person is directly equating ChatGPT's abilities with human-level intelligence.
