It just bugs me when people dismiss LLMs as "not intelligent" for some inane reason, when GPT4 can hold a better conversation on more topics than most people you'd meet on the street. No, it's not a fully fledged superhuman strong AGI, but it's SO much more capable than anything we had even a year ago.

Based on your later comments, I'm reading this as:
1) People are afraid because of recent major advances in AI
2) In an attempt to manage their anxiety, they try to convince themselves that these advances aren't actually significant or effective by redefining their interpretation of 'AI', 'AGI', 'intelligence' etc. to be something that current techniques don't threaten to achieve
3) In order to reinforce this cognitive dissonance, they post dismissive or belittling comments declaring that it's not 'real AI' according to their redefined interpretation of the term
4) We should respond to these comments with compassion, understanding that they're a coping mechanism, rather than correcting them
Is that right? If so that's a really interesting take.
