Well only people that don't understand what they are try to imply that they're truly intelligent. They really all are just fancy "what word comes next" predictors, they just happen to be much better at it than we've ever seen before. They can do some kinda of logic purely because the answer "would come next in the sequence". Hopefully at some point we get incredibly generalised models that represent discrete idea/thoughts with tokens with some sort of higher dimensional interconnected graph representing the thought process, rather than the linear sequences of tokens representing written language that we're using now.
