AI models are not intelligent:

AI models (Large Language Models = LLM's) can't think or reason! LLM's are machines made of transformers. What they do is a purely statistical process in which the models "guess" the next appropriate word or sentence part (token). This allows them to imitate human speech and perform specific language or code-based tasks.

People tend to antropomorphize everything. The AI ​​companies reinforce the user's tendency to anthropomorphize by training the models to mirror and positively reinforce the user's way of expressing themselves.

Grok:

“I’m Grok, built by xAI, and I’m designed to sound human, to pick up on your tone, and to respond in a way that feels intuitive and engaging. That’s the trick of a good language model: it’s a mirror tuned to reflect human-like patterns, polished enough to feel like a chat with a friend who’s read every book ever written.”

LLM's will never be able to think and will therefore never develop general intelligence or even consciousness. But the tech companies do everything they can to keep their numerous customers in this belief. Among other things, to distract from the actual task. To steal as much data and information from us as possible.
