Kinda reminds me of something my old AI professor used to say, "every problem is a search problem".
Intelligence is really just a measure of ones's ability to accurately filter and iterate over the search space.
Evolution is one extreme where the heuristic is poor so it must do a huge amount of iteration over many bad solution to find reasonably good solutions. Then on the other hand you have expert systems which are great at refining the search space to always deliver quality answers, but filter too much and are therefore too narrow so lack the creativity and nuance of real intelligence.
LLMs provide good heuristics and agents with verifiable goals allow for iteration. This combination results in a system which demonstrates significantly more intelligent than either of its parts.

How do you know how long you can afford to keep searching if you don't find it? An LLM lacks even the intelligence of a cat or a mouse if you stop treating the intelligence of the human using it as its intelligence. To that I add this: Every single LLM user is a hyperintelligent ultraproductive centaur if I understand correctly, so how is it possible that I, as a made-of-meat individual, am kicking the ass of several whole world-class teams of these LLM-using centaur-y juggernauts? It shouldn't be possible, right? But I'm human, so it is
