I don't really get the "what we are calling AI isn't actual AI" take, as it seems to me to presuppose a definition of intelligence.
Like, yes, ChatGPT and the like are stochastic machines built to generate reasonable sounding text. We all get that. But can you prove to me that isn't how actual "intelligence" works at it's core?
And you can argue that actual intelligence requires memories or long running context, but that's trivial to jerry-rig a framework around ChatGPT that does exactly that (and has been done already a few times).
Idk man, I have yet to see one of these videos actually take the time to explain what makes something "intelligent" and why that is the definition of intelligence that they believe is the correct one.
Whether something is "actually" AI seems much more a question for a philosophy major than a computer science major.
the precise line you draw the distinction between "true" intelligence and not is one thing, but wherever you happen to draw it, chatgpt isn't really close
Intelligence isn't necessarily human intelligence. Humans are pretty much the most intelligent species on this planet - which says a lot about intelligence tbh - but intelligence is not binary. Wouldn't you say animals are intelligent too? Is a brain even required for intelligence?

if you open the definition of "intelligence" that far then it kind of ceases to be a useful descriptor
for most people the baseline of "intelligence" is at least human comparable
