Making something “autoregressive” by moving the numbers around doesn’t mean it’s meaningless. A stateless thing is stateless. It has no internal state. It has no self to be aware of.

Intelligence is arbitrary. This is a personal view that helps keep it meaningful. If you exist discretely you may as well not exist. You’re just a concept

What about animals? Any definition of intelligence really should spend some time grappling with the facts of animal intelligence...
You’re gradually shifting the bar from “self aware” to “capable” and I don’t care about the latter.
