Tools are often objects that "exceed the average human's capabilities" in some respect or another but assigning the quality of intelligence to tool itself is like calling a hammer strong or a chisel brave. It maybe true in a metaphorical sense but it doesn't have any objective meaning.

I really don't understand the argument you're making. From my perspective, you're doing exactly what I said: you're setting a double standard, like the previous poster.

If I have a robot that talks like a human, including answering questions like a human, behaves like a human in any way that is important... wouldn't this "tool" be intelligent, just like a human?

How are robots different from ChatGPT except having a physical presence and being able to manipulate the world physically?

Or are humans so special to you (or intelligence so subjective) that you can't possibly answer "yes" to the above statement about a robot being intelligent?

what you are saying here basically is: if it quacks and can fly, it’s obviously a duck.
