Stop calling language models “artificial intelligence” 2023. Intelligence requires reasoning. These things don’t reason. Language is neither sufficient, nor required for intelligence.

I find it so reassuring to see this expressed so well! Of course, it also means there’s probably no intelligence in those who’ve fallen in love with language models, either.
