> conflating artificial super-intelligence (reference point: humans) with artificial general intelligence (reference point: specialized/narrow GOFAI).
So now humans is "super" intelligence? it's nice to move the upper bar so that more stuff can be called "just" intelligence.
Reference class in this case means not an example but what the comparison is against. Superhuman means better than humans. General intelligence is defined without any reference to human capability levels.
How can somebody define intelligence without a reference to human capability? Humans are the one judging it.
general intelligence for beavers or a birch forest would be very different than general intelligence for humans...
Intelligence is problem solving. It can be defined in terms of optimization theory.
