The limitation of range is not of biology, as unevolvable synthetic biology can likely go far further if not as far as possible. The limitation of range regards biology is regards evolvable biological intelligence.

Encyclopedic parrots...

 

Comment

The first llms were called stochastic parrots, but eventually they did prove to have some degree of intelligence, disproving the label.

But that said, I think a better label is encyclopedic parrot, even to this day the latest llms, still make mistakes when asked obvious questions that are outside their training data.  But they can make very intelligent responses within and around the training data.  So I think encyclopedic parrot might be a better label for them.

They have intelligence, but not agi yet, just proto agi.
