AI is very intelligent if you define intelligence by its output to questions.
Some AI platforms can carry on long and intelligent conversations at a PhD level about an endless array of topics and answer incredibly complicated questions instantly.
Why worry about "how" AI runs when you can focus on its output.
I use it every day as an investor and it saves me a massive amount of time. For example, over the weekend, I clipped images of financial statements of 10-Q reports from the SEC web site for a bunch of AI companies that I follow and posted them to ChatGPT. It analyzed each of them and then gave me in depth comparison of all of them instantly. I then asked it to include any pertinent financial news that didn't seem to be mentioned or reflected in the 10-Qs I submitted. It did that instantly and updated its assessment.
No human can do that instantly. It would take me weeks to do what ChatGPT did in a matter of seconds.
I think you mean it isn’t sentient.

No, I mean Intelligence, and at best AI is good at answering “some” questions.

Depending on their training set, certainly. If I train an AI on large sets of PHD papers, I can get answers on those topics, but even then the answers are not always cogent.
I never said AI had no valid use cases, or was not helpful, I said it wasn’t “intelligent”. There are use cases where its very useful, then there are use cases where its abjectly useless and oversold.
Don’t confuse me explaining how “AI” works with saying that AI doesn’t have valid use cases or bring efficiencies.
Its a tool, like any other, and for the right things it can be a very useful tool, however the selling of AI as the solution to nearly everything is flat out nonsense. Just like a Screwdriver is a great tool to drive in a screw, but a lousy tool to hammer in a nail.
A contest could be held in which a number a of AI would each be opened on tabs in a browser and asked the same question. I might ask it to analyze Isaiah 6:1-10 and John 12:34-48 and tell me what this reveals about the deity of Christ.
Of course, if I really wanted to tie it up, i could ask it to reconcile texts for Calvinistic predestination with texts which contradict it.
