Why are you so confident in this? We don't really know how human "intelligence" works. Whose to say it's not doing something similar?
It's a bit like saying an audio file doesn't contain "music" because it's just a binary representation of the original work.
Or cepholapod intelligence. Or magpie/raven/crow intelligence.
If I ask a chat LLM what its favorite flavor of ice cream is, it will select a statistically likely answer to the question.
That's the difference.
For reference: my favorite ice cream flavor is cake batter, but only if it's the one at Cold Stone. If it's from somewhere else, I go with cookie dough.
I would even argue that humans are more similar to that than we think. The main difference is that one of the characters is locked to the surface most of the time (not even very perfectly).
Why do you prefer cake batter ice cream? Because of some sequence of events leading up to present point in time (not unlike training), and/or random genetic variations (not unlike setting “temperature” parameter in GPT to >0)
