In general conversation, “intelligence”, “knowledge”, “smartness”, “expertise”, etc are used mostly interchangeably. If we want to get pedantic, I would point out that “knowledge” is formally defined as “justified true belief”, and I doubt we want to get into the quagmire of whether LLM’s actually have beliefs. I took OP’s point in the casual meaning, i.e. that LLMs are like what I would call an “intelligent coworker”, or how one might call a Jeopardy game show contestant as intelligent.
