Because it's so entirely reductive and misunderstanding of where the technology has progressed. Hello world is s computer program. So it Microsoft Windows. New levels of "intelligence" unlock with greater complexity of a program.

Like look at our brains. We know decently well how a single neuron works. We can simulate a single one with "just a computer program". But clearly with enough layers some form of complexity can emerge, and at some level that complexity becomes intelligence.

It isn’t a given that complexity begets intelligence.

But in the case of both biological and computer neurons, it is an empirical fact that complexity has led to intelligence.

and it isn't a given that it doesn't, so maybe a little openness towards the possibility is warranted?
