Original Text

Call me a snowflake, but I propose that those of us who don't believe that AI is actually intelligence look for a term to refer to its "thinking" that isn't "intelligence", because this helps our weak minds keep things straight.

subligence /sʌbˈlɪdʒəns/ n.

A lesser or rudimentary form of intelligence; the capacity to respond, select, or adapt without full understanding. The semblance of mind in animals, machines, systems, or inanimate things. Discernment beneath reason; inferior intelligence.

Example: "Since December, the coding models have gotten noticeably more subligent, so much so that the undiscerning eye has trouble distinguishing their output from human intelligence."
