There are people who think current LLMs are human-level AI
There are always a handful of people who hold pretty much any belief. But it seems to me that in your response here you are also conflating "Intelligence" and "Human level intelligence". And I will again insist that just because something hasn't yet reach that particular pinnacle ("human level intelligence") does not mean that it isn't "intelligent" to a point. And the original headline I was responding to did not say "AI isn't human level intelligent" it said "AI isn't intelligent". Those are two markedly different statements.
and those who don't think we will get there very soon
And in fact, we may or we may not. But that's not an inherently unreasonable position to hold, given what we know today.
It's not unreasonable to say that the technology is being hyped up to a point that does not correspond do its current state, nor to its future possibilities.
Sure, but that's a completely different statement than what we started with.
