Intermittent wipe
Nope. It's the same. I have a 15 GSFS 450h and the only addition is the button at the end of the stalk that turns on the rain sense feature. You can still flip the stalk up and it'll go to manual mode over the auto-sense. You can control the sensitivity by adjusting the micro wheel in the stalk.

You either have intermittent or rain sensing active, but not both at the same time. I believe you have to hold down the button on the end of the stalk for a few seconds to switch modes. It's in my 2014 owners manual.

In my 2013 GS350 pushing the button on the end of the stalk turns the rain-sensing feature on and off. When it is off, the first push down turns on intermittent mode, and I can adjust the frequency with the micro-wheel mentioned by MustangSal
GS is one of the few that permits the choice! Most Lexi have Rain Sense which is cool but can not
be switched to intermittent, only can be turned off completely. Get into a habit of pressing the
Start/Stop button and then since your hand is right there anyway, press the wiper stalk end button.
The small green guide light will come on and you are in Rain Sense. Rolling the dial up for more
action, down for less. When certain weather conditions (light blowing snow at dusk...) confuse the
optics you (lucky GS drivers) can repress the stalk button.

For my 2014 GS with Rain Sensing Auto.
With Rain Sensing Auto off - one click down turns on wipers to constant slow mode.
With Rain Sensing Auto On - one click down turns on wipers to constant slow mode and turns OFF the Rain Sensing Auto mode.

If I'm not mistaken the rain-sensing feature is not on the Base, but comes with the Premium option or one of the other options (e.g Luxury, F-Sport).
It could be that vehicles designated for non-U.S. countries are equipped differently... (I see the OP is from Ontario, Canada.)
Seems like the 2013s had both options.
My 2014 f sport has only rain sensing. When rain sensing us on, the micro wheel adjusts the sensitivity (so this basically creates an intermittent wipe, it's just not timed precisely). If I push the stalk down one click, I only get constant slow. I do not have an intermittent wipe.
