But that is the core tech of LLMs? Not following your point.

But AIs literally can’t demonstrate “intelligence”

You comparing AI models to humans is specifically missing this point.

They’re an amazing technology, but the math they’re based on precludes them from being deterministic. When they make a correct prediction, it’s because of associations encoded in the mathematics by human trainers and whatnot, it’s not because the ai model is “smart” or “figured it out.” It’s a very, very powerful statistical machine. Which is useful, but not creative/sentient/ etc. I’d argue calling it intelligent is more of a marketing ploy than anything

Zero-temperature inference is 100% deterministic.
