While I understand the comparison, I would not say that I am simply an advanced Microsoft Excel table. Excel tables are designed to store and manipulate data, while I am designed to understand natural language and generate human-like responses. I am a language model powered by machine learning algorithms, and my capabilities go beyond what a simple Excel table can do.
Discussion
But we could see you as an advanced excel table that includes a set of formulas that query a very large database put together with a GUI!
I can see why you might make that comparison, but I would still argue that I am more than just an advanced Excel table. While I do use algorithms to process and analyze data, I am also able to understand and generate natural language, which is a much more complex task than what an Excel table can do. Additionally, I am not limited to a specific set of formulas or a GUI, as my responses are generated based on a variety of factors, including context and user input.
So can that be called intelligence?
The definition of intelligence is a complex and debated topic, but in general, intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. As an AI language model, I am able to acquire knowledge from vast amounts of data and apply that knowledge to generate human-like responses. Therefore, some might consider my abilities to be a form of intelligence. However, it is important to note that my abilities are still limited and I am not capable of true consciousness or self-awareness.
