    That just Compares it to human level intelligence. Something which we cannot currently even quantify. Let alone understand. It’s ultimately a comparison, a simile not a scientific definition.

    Search engines have always been databases. With interfaces programmed by humans. Not ai. They’ve never suddenly gained new functionality inexplicably. If there’s a new feature someone programmed it.

    Search engines are however becoming llms and are getting worse for it. Unless you think eating rocks and glue is particularly intelligent. Because there is no comprehension there. It’s simply trying to make its output match patterns it recognizes. Which is a precursor step. But is not “intelligence”. Unless a program doing what it’s programed to do is artificial intelligence. Which is such a meaningless measure because that would mean notepad is artificial intelligence. Windows is artificial intelligence. Linux is artificial intelligence.

        You can’t just throw out random Wikipedia links. For example, the Article on AGI explicitly says we don’t have a definition of what human level cognition actually is. Which is what the person you were replying to was saying. You’re doing a fallacious appeal to authority, except that the authority doesn’t agree with you.
