I think you fully missed my point. Intelligence involves conceptually understanding a space/time model of the world such that you can use the word data as input to then create that model in your mind and compute with it. The words alone are just data and have no ability as data to build a conceptual/causal space/time model of what those words mean. So knowing statistics about words = statistics about words. It has nothing to do with understanding what the words mean = intelligence



By the same metric, humans only know statistics about photons and pressure waves, which obviously has nothing to do with actually existing objects. I don't see why we should call our statistics "intelligence" and the network's statistics "statistics".
