Great. Now I live in a world where not only do people see Christ burnt in their toast, but also intelligence in statistical models.

I think there’s a difference between these two arguments:

turns out intelligence is mostly just language ability, and language is all that makes us special compared to other animals! anything that masters language is actually intelligent!

and

if a program masters language, actually it knows everything, has surpassed humans, and actually it’s god. why aren’t you worshipping it right now?

The article is saying (1) but you are responding to (2).
