It is crucial to clarify what we mean by intelligence in the context of AI. Current AI systems, including models like GPT, excel in specific tasks such as data processing, mathematical problems, and standardized test-taking. However, these achievements blur the line between mere data manipulation and true cognitive understanding. As striking as these models' capabilities may be, they operate fundamentally through predicting the next word in a sentence based on pattern recognition rather than genuine understanding or reasoning.
