Agreed. We don't seem to have a very cohesive idea of what human consciousness is or how it works.
... And so we should call machines "intelligent"? That's not how science works.
I think you're misunderstanding the argument. I haven't seen people here saying that the study was incorrect so far as it goes, or that AI is equal to human intelligence. But it does seem like it has a kind of intelligence. "Glorified auto complete" doesn't seem sufficient, because it has a completely different quality from any past tool. Supposing yes, on a technical level the software pieces together probability based on overtraining. Can we say with any precision how the human mind stores information and how it creates intelligence? Maybe we're stumbling down the right path but need further innovations.
