Yeah, no contest, llms can remember things. Big deal. You're comparing memory with intelligence. It's a part of it sure, but there's also cognition, reasoning and i don't even know what more
Ah, here is our disagreement. I see what you mean but I'm not totally convinced by that.. reasoning isn't just being able to verbalize the steps you take, which llms can do but more so the steps themselves, and in my experience llms can fail in that department. Maybe they are somewhere between intelligent and not intelligent? In my opinion that's far more likely, as most things are not usually binaries but spectrums in our world.
To be clear, I'm not claiming LLMs are already better than humans in general sense, across many domains of cognition. I do believe however that, in the aspects you mention, SOTA LLMs (primarily GPT-4) fairly close to humans on the spectrum - they're "playing the same game", so to speak, in the sense in which prior computer systems, and most life forms on Earth, are not.
