An algebra book is a collection of paper pages with ink on them. An LLM is... nothing like that at all. LLMs are complex machines that operate on data and produce data. Books are completely static. They don't do anything.

Do you have a better analogy? I'd like to hear more about how ML models can't be intelligent, if you don't mind.

I'm pretty skeptical of the idea that we know enough at this point to make that claim definitively.

Books (and writing) are a big force in cultural evolution.

Yes, I love books. They are awesome. But we are talking about machine intelligence, so that's not super relevant.

Books aren't data/info-processing machines, by themselves. LLMs are.
