A little humility would do us good regardless, because we don't know what intelligence is and what consciousness is, we can't truly define it nor do we understand what makes humans conscious and sentient/sapient. Categorically ruling out intelligence because "it's just a token predictor" puts us at the opposite of the spectrum, and that's not necessarily a better place to be.
