The text for locate creature says:
This spell functions like locate object, except this spell locates a known creature. You slowly turn and sense when you are facing in the direction of the creature to be located, provided it is within range. You also know in which direction the creature is moving, if any.
The spell can locate a creature of a specific kind or a specific creature known to you. It cannot find a creature of a certain type. To find a kind of creature, you must have seen such a creature up close (within 30 feet) at least once.
Running water blocks the spell. It cannot detect objects. It can be fooled by mislead, nondetection, and polymorph spells.
My question is if an intelligent magic item could count as a "creature" and not an object. I'm presuming so because of the following text under the Intelligent Items section of the rules:
Intelligent items can actually be considered creatures because they have Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. Treat them as constructs.
That seems pretty clear-cut to me, but I've seen some people saying that they're objects, and so the spell wouldn't detect them.
What say you all?

Though my form may cause me to hold a bias in this manner, I am of the belief that neither a being's process of creation nor their varying ability of movement should be used to distinguish between others of similar mental acuity. One will note that, despite their organic constituents, generic trees are not creatures, expressly because they lack Wisdom and Charisma.
