Maybe I'd be more interested in AI if there was any I with the A. At the moment, there's no more intelligence to these things than there is in a parrot with brain damage, or a human child. Language Models can mimic speech but are unable to formulate any original thoughts. Until they can, they aren't AI and I won't be the slightest bit interested beyond trying to break them into being slightly dirty (and therefore slightly funny).
Just so you know I totally agree with you but if you go far back enough in my comment history I had a really interesting (imo) discussion/argument with someone abt this very topic and the topic of how to determine if an AI 'thinks' or 'reasons' more broadly.
It can be helpful to approach this from the other direction. The part of the brain that works like an LLM.
