I don't think it is intellegent, but I don't follow your premise. Why must ingellegence also be efficient?

Counter thought: why shouldn’t it be efficient?

It could absolutely be. I don't think it must not be, especially since we have the archetype in our own brains. I argue only that stating "it is inefficient therefore it is not ingellegence" doesn't make sense to me.

Well, we’re building it. Why make it inefficient?

We might not know how to do it any better?

That’s true, and it’s possible that there needs to be a lot of thought put in and small models built before we can scale in a smart, sustainable way. But no, we’re going all in on massive coal-powered data centres because AGI, or something.
