Til, that is fascinating. Thanks for sharing!

We have functional agency

Is this scientifically provable? I don’t see how this isn’t a subjective statement.

Artificial intelligence requires agency and spontaneity

Says who? Hollywood? For almost a hundred years the term has been used by computer scientists to describe computers using “fuzzy logic” and “learning programs” to solve problems that are too complicated for traditional data structures and algorithms to reasonably tackle, and it’s really a very general and fluid field of computer science, as old as computer science itself. See the Wikipedia page

And finally, there is no special sauce to animal intelligence. There’s no such thing as a soul. You yourself are a Rube Goldberg machine of chemistry and electricity, your only “concepts” obtained through your dozens of senses constantly collecting data 24/7 since embryo. Not that the intelligence of today’s LLMs are comparable to ours, but there’s no magic to us, we’re Rube Goldberg machines too.

That’s just kicking the can down the road, because now you have to define agency. Do you have agency? If you didn’t, would you even know? Can you prove it either way? In any case, this is no longer a scientific discussion, but a philosophical one, because whether or not an entity has “intelligence” or “agency” are not testable questions.

These systems do not display intelligence any more than a Rube Goldberg machine is a thinking agent.

Well now you need to define “intelligence” and that’s wandering into some thick philosophical weeds. The fact is that the term “artificial intelligence” is as old as computing itself. Go read up on Alan Turing’s work.
