That very much depends on what you define as "intelligent". We lack a clear definition.
I agree: These early generations of specific AIs are clearly not on the same level as human intelligence.
And still, we can already have more intelligent conversations with them than with most humans.
It's not a fair comparison though. It's as if we'd compare the language region of a toddler with a complete brain of an adult. Let's see what the next few years bring.
I'm not making that point, just mentioning it can be made on an academic level: There's a paper about the surprising emergent capabilities of ChatGPT 4.0, titled "Sparks of AGI".
