Isn’t giving LLMs “IQ scores” a category error?

Human IQ is norm-referenced psychometrics under embodied noise. Calling both “IQ” isn’t harmless, it invites bad policy and building decisions on a false equivalence. Don’t promote it.

IQ scores are basically scores on an IQ test. They can be interesting or misapplied with both humans and AI.
But it seems even worse to conflate human IQ and AI IQ.
