Large language models' surprise emergent behavior written off as 'a mirage'

Intelligence

Define "intelligence." When we attempt to do so, we always end up referring to ourselves since a compact and concise definition is virtually impossible to specify. And even if it is it would be contested and vilified.

From what I've seen these language models seem to have some understanding of our physical world, even though they don't understand it in the physical sense that we do. I find it difficult to believe their output is merely a random construct of words and letters.
