All intelligent systems must arise from non-intelligent components.

Except that is not true. Single-celled organisms perform independent acts. That may be tiny, but it is intelligence. Every living being more complex than that is built from that smallest bit of intelligence.

Not clear at all why that would be the case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explanatory_gap.

It must be confessed, moreover, that perception, & that which depends on it, are inexplicable by mechanical causes, that is, by figures & motions, And, supposing that there were a mechanism so constructed as to think, feel & have perception, we might enter it as into a mill. And this granted, we should only find on visiting it, pieces which push one against another, but never anything by which to explain a perception. This must be sought, therefore, in the simple substance, & not in the composite or in the machine. — Gottfried Leibniz, Monadology, sect. 17

Bending over backwards to avoid any hint of anthropromorphization in any LLM thread is one of my least favorite things about HN. It's tired. We fucking know. For anyone who doesn't know, saying it for the 1 billionth time isn't going to change that.
