It explained something to me today. So your point is disproven. What is intelligence then if not explaining things. They can be intelligent without consciousness if that’s what you mean

No. It produced a statistically likely answer.

    What is intelligence then if not explaining things.
"the ability to learn, understand, and make judgments or have opinions that are based on reason"[0]

LLMs by definition cannot learn, understand, make judgements, or have opinions. If you find the model to be a tool that is useful to you, by all means. But do not anthropomorphize.
