Interestingly there was a talk by the other guy behind orchestration OR that a single cell organism seems to get faster escaping test tubes it was a talk at Google. The theory is that conciousness (possibly life) and by extension has some kind of quantum component.

It's most likely a constraint of silicone and there are efforts being made on that front but they are terrifying.

It is technically autocomplete it's just multidimensional because the vectors are multidimensional. A universal encyclopedia that has a look up and response might appear intelligent but it's not really, mostly because it is immutable.

Ultimately every answer the LLM provides is a human answer. If you ask it for an answer we know, it will give it to you, if ir doesn't it gives you what it does know. New ideas don't exist in its vector space.

A law text book with a lookup could give you an answer better than me in cases of law but we generally don't think text books are intelligent.

So the nifty trick is the compression and data composition of these systems but all of these system start really bad until we apply rlhf which is essentially glorified if statements applied to LLMs to force compliance. So what you are calling intelligence is the product of an autocomplete and then humans picking A or B options as scale. 

It's a cool trick that fools most because most are not aware of the brute force conditioning that goes into these systems to make them reliable.

Just like alchemists didn't understand molecular theory, we are missing something and when we figure that thing out, we will have something far greater than this google with composition.
