To me the interesting idea is the followup question: Can you do complex reasoning without intelligence?

LLM's seem to have proven themselves to be more than a one-trick-pony. There is actually some resemblance of reasoning and structuring etc.. No matter if directly within the LLM, or supported by computer code. E.g it can be argued that the latest LLMs like Gemini 2.5 and Claude 4 in fact do complex reasoning.

We have always taken for granted you need intelligence for that, but what if you don't? It would greatly change our view on intelligence and take away one of the main factors that we test for in e.g. animals to define their "intelligence".
