In other words, Artificial Stupidity. Why is it CALLED intelligent?

Why is it CALLED intelligent?

Because it is "intelligent" by definition. You're conflating the word with "highly intelligent" or just "smart".

Dogs are "intelligent" but can't they write code, but we sometimes refer to dogs as "smart".

A flatworm has intelligence but no one would call it smart.
