So it fails your "not even close to being a form of general intelligence" bar.

For me it clearly unambiguously no-contest 100% definitely exhibits behaviors that qualify it as a limited form of general intelligence.

You're right. However, I use ChatGPT every day on tasks of a generic nature, including things I come up with on the spot. That doesn't mean it gets everything perfect every time, but it has no problem manipulating abstract concepts. It is a general form of intelligence able to deal with new things and arrangements, but sometimes gets it wrong. It is not limited to one specific type of input or domain. So, how do you propose I qualify that it is a general form of intelligence that still has limitations? I agree that "a limited form of general intelligence" does seem to contain a contradiction.
