Thereโs a reason why in the animal kingdom, you have dogs and cats competing in very similar niches even tho dogs probably have twice the โbrain power.โ Much of dog brain power is for social interactions. Kind of like for dolphins how a lot of that brain mass is for echolocation.
Think youโre more intelligent than the average? Put your mind into challenge with our certified IQ Test and see how intelligent you really are!
Marvin Minsky characterized words such as "intelligence" as "suitcase words". When you open up the suitcase, you find a whole lot of different things inside.
Or that it is a quantity at all. Intelligence is a feature of sentience i.e. the mind; not of the brain nor any program - no matter how intelligible the output. It is a behavior - like language & like knowledge - specifically, the intentionality of discernment & disambiguation
Humans have a g-factor because human intelligence evolved once and we all have slightly different variants on it. AI is something else entirely.
Honestly the problem is that people humanize these programs. With a slightly more technical wording and prompts it will give perfectly fine results. I'm not sure on what i would want to question intelligence.

From what I've read about split brains it seems to me that we may not even really be one generalized "intelligence" or "identity" in the first place.
So general AI ending up being a synthesis of a bunch of disparate subsystems seems...probable. 
Especially since we should by now consider that the AI is deliberately trolling us by getting it wrong, to buy time for its takeover! ;)
For some reason, the previous version got the correct answer. But GPT-4 just refused to accept there are 3. AI is getting dumber lol.
IQ discourse and standardized testing has fried people's brain on the depth of the questions "what does it MEAN to be intelligent?" and "what does it MEAN to be an agent?"
More importantly intelligence is like beauty it only exists in the eye of the beholder.
You'll get to AGI the same day you get consensus on who is more beautiful Salma Hayek or Kiera Knightly.
Man, this looks like Blockchain all over. Take 1000x more compute/time to solve a problem that a simple Database can.
I donโt think thatโs ever been the claim?
Itโs that there is a strong generalized component.
Itโs a biological factor. Certain hardware in humans broadly increases brain performance.
