Is GPT-3 Artificial Intelligence?

I think it's an open problem, whether humans are intelligent or not. GPT-3 isn't doing whatever you might call reasoning. We don't know that the magic of Turing universality means that even a very modestly powerful algorithm can approximate any other possible algorithm. Maybe we should just stop using the word intelligence completely. maybe it doesn't help us. Intelligence is what Marvin Mincey calls suitcase word. You could pack all these different definitions into it, and they don't have to be compatible. No one is allowed to say intelligence for now. Instead, we're going to try to use different things: sample efficiency, computational efficiency performance.
