They're certainly not general intelligences of an average adult human level (limited abstract reasoning ability, limited ability to transmit their reasoning), which is typically what is referred to as AGI.

Maybe that is typical, but it's not correct.

A lot of animals do possess general intelligence in the sense that they can adapt to a wide range of different situations(within what they're physically capable of).

Involving "human level" in this definition just makes it much more poorly defined.

It has always been pretty vague, it's hard to define a proper bar for intelligence let alone the intelligence of any specific animal. We just don't understand intelligence well enough (which is why in my opinion Zucc saying they want to work on AGI is at the level of if Musk or Bezos came out saying they want to work on FTL travel).
