It is until proven otherwise because modern science still doesn’t have a consensus or standards or biological tests which can account for it. As in, highly “intelligent” people often lack “common sense” or fall prey to con artists. It’s pompous as shit to assert a black box mimicry constitutes intelligence. Wake me up when it can learn to play a guitar and write something as good as Bob Dylan and Tom Petty. Hint: we’ll both be dead before that happens.
This to me is a weak argument. You have the ability to appreciate and judge something as good as Bob Dylan and Tom Petty. That's what makes you intelligent.

What if you don't? Do you think that makes someone not intelligent?
1. I'm sure if I were to ask an LLM for opinions on Dylan and Petty, it would provide them.
2. I don't know if this was the point the original was making, but I personally think Dylan is a bit overrated as a songwriter (and the one time I saw him live, he was only so-so as a performer, but I don't think that's exactly a hot take).
