There is a nice paper on this topic.

On the Measure of Intelligence - François Chollet https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.01547

I believe generality in human intelligence is overrated. We can't do large multiplication in our heads, we can't solve the Salesman problem in our heads, and many other things we can't do because our intelligence is not in fact general. It has a set of skills and can combine them in many ways.
