> intelligence is the computational part of the ability to achieve goals in the world

I am a big fan of the idea of multiple intelligences, so I like this definition because the ability to achieve a goal on a chessboard doesn’t necessarily translate to solving word problems or navigating social situations. However, I am very aware that there is no one agreed upon definition, and the Wiki page on the topic even mentions that “intelligence” might just mean pointing to ourselves.

One of my favorite AI generated essays argues that intelligence is “doing whatever humans do.”
