This seems reasonable. Much AI research has historically been about building computer systems to do things that otherwise require human intelligence to do. The question of "is the computer actually intelligent" has been more philosophical than practical, and many such practically useful computer systems have been developed, even before LLMs.
On the other hand, one early researcher said something to the effect of, Researchers in physics look at the universe and wonder how it all works. Researchers in biology look at living organisms and wonder how they can be alive. Researchers in artificial intelligence wonder how software can be made to wonder such things.
I feel like we are still way off from having a working solution there.
