This was all totally predictable. We have no practical definition of "intelligence" but it should be intuitively obvious that it is not primarily a statistical function. You can't build something that you don't understand and can't define. "Emergence" is the modern equivalent of alchemy --- pure wishful thinking without any rational basis. A.t best, LLMs are idiot savants --- like "Rain Man". They can recall lots of data but they have a very poor grasp of reality. They may have the statistics to tell you that a candy bar doesn't cost about $100 --- but they really don't understand why. It's insane to give something like this authority or responsibility.
