That doesn’t seem like it would be a problem if it was connected to something where people constantly interacted with it. Then the model’s actions would be outputted constantly, and it seems like there would be no important difference between that and it acting unprompted (heh).
That’s true. Earth doesn’t act like an intelligent agent, but a model could. A current model could simulate the verbal output of a human, and that output could be connected to some actuators (or biological humans) that would allow it to act in the world. Also, Earth can’t comprehend new concepts, correctly apply them and solve problems.

The physical world is also acting continuously based on inputs it receives from people, and we don’t say “The Earth” is an intelligence.
