I'm not sure that human "general intelligence" is a thing in the first place.
Human behavior and cognition is driven by biological and cultural processes, which are the result of millions of years of evolution and billions of arbitrarily complicated proteins all interacting on one another. Is a computer going to emulate every part of that?
Despite what we think about our minds being rational, autonomous, operating according to a set of coherent principles, etc., I'm not sure that's really the case at the end of the day.
