My point being that an LLM will never be more "intelligent" than the lump of text that it is.

It's not intelligent, like an encyclopaedia is not intelligent.

Oh I do agree with you, but it sadly is, by definition, artificial intelligence.

But LLMs are incapable of acquiring or understanding information.
