IQ test are a proxy for g. They are meaningless when applied to computers.
My point is that the IQ test is meaningless in measuring intelligence....
Here's a neat primer from Vox on some of the social science behind IQ. It's incredibly predictive of people's life outcomes!

That is...much better than I would have expected of Vox.
They really are meaningful. How about we make a deal? You read Intelligence: All That Matters and I'll read The Mismeasure of Man again.
