And that point can also be shown formally: in principle they cannot match cognition (my preferred term for what I think they call intelligence although I disagree it's just a behaviour).

But of course I completely agree that machines aren't conscious *nor* do they have cognition. They aren't intelligent other than behaviourally / superficially aka not at all. Many things can seem intelligent but aren't.

Hopefully there's more to be said here (by others too of course) on intelligence not as behaviour, but as capacity. Maybe it's why they separated it out from *seemingly* intelligent behaviour, which can also be a video of a person just as much as a person in the flesh.

If defined that way it's completely subjective, in the "seems like" and not the "in principle" category. Clever Hans seems like he can do arithmetic just as much as a calculator does. But only one really adds numbers for us provided we can read the seven segment display. An intriguing reversal.

Tangential to the core point, which I agree with largely, what's interesting about this claim / article: > conscious experience and intelligent behaviour can come apart in striking ways is that the authors seem to think intelligence is merely a behavioural pattern.
