Why would one assume that intelligence existing on a different substrate would be artificial?
So far we have no example of intelligence that is not tied to a living organism.
If a computer can simulate a living organism to a sufficient degree of detail the simulation may be intelligent and alive.
Thus life is at least a sufficient condition for intelligence. It may be a necessary one as well.
How GPT is different from life is that it lacks biological goals. It also lacks the abstract modeling ability that higher organisms have.
In other words GPT fails because it relies on combinatorics without real modeling of the world (aka understanding).
