Oh nonsense. AI: Artificial Intelligence.
Artifical - made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, especially as a copy of something natural.
Intelligence - the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.
ChatGPT is certainly artificial, but it lacks the ability to apply knowledge and skills. It will do it, KIND OF, on the knowledge front, if you ASK it to, but we wouldn't call a car that moves when the accelerator is pressed a creature, nor would we call google intelligent because it can respond to queries when prompted. It's a machine. Firmly in the realm of a machine that responds to input from other actors to accomplish a task presented it.
You can leave a ChatGPT instance running for a thousand years and it will never do anything until prompted. That's not intelligence.
There's simply no debate here to be had. It's a CLEVER machine, and it does things a lot of previous machines could not, but a machine it remains nonetheless.
