A calculator can multiply 2887618 * 99289192 faster than you ever could. Does that make a calculator intelligent?

It's not an agent with its own goals so in the gamedev definition, no. By calculator standards, also not. But just as a washing machine with sufficient smarts is called intelligent, so it's, in principle, possible to call a calculator intelligent if it's smart enough. WolframAlpha certainly qualifies. And not just the newfangled LLM-enabled stuff I used Mathematica back in the early 00s and it blew me the fuck away. That thing is certainly better at finding closed forms than me.
