> You can leave a ChatGPT instance running for a thousand years and it will never do anything until prompted. That's not intelligence. I do not see how this requirement you have stated is an inherent property of how you have defined "artificial" or "intelligence". I think what you have described fits more with the traditional depiction of AI, but I don't agree that it is inherent. Which I why I agree with the person you responded to: I think there is no consensus view on what is and isn't AI because people seem to have different tests, weights, etc. in their mind for what "counts". I think it's a bit of a pointless exercise, but a mildly interesting one at least.

> I think what you have described fits more with the traditional depiction of AI, but I don't agree that it is inherent. Because we've had software since the inception of computers that only does things as it's told and when it's told, and that's called... software, programs, apps, etc. Intelligence belies something entirely different in the minds of laypeople and many tech people alike. To assert otherwise is to upend an entire understood element of our shared culture for the purposes of marketing. It's ridiculous.
