I'd argue that intelligence is precisely the ability to predict (and therefore also plan) outcomes based on prior experience. The ability to perceive and predict what happens next; the ability to predict/plan/act and be mostly correct about what you predicted would happen as a result of your actions. With this definition, LLMs in their ability to predict can reasonably be considered to display some basic form of intelligence, even if only in their own world of words rather than the world at large. If we build embodied robots with a similar ability to predict, and also the ability to continually update their predictions based on prediction success/failure (the closed loop that is missing from LLMs), then we'll have something much more recognizably close to animal intelligence.
