It's better to think of this as "human-like intelligence."
Talking about "levels" implies a hierarchy of which there's no proof, and what evidence has been trotted out for it is backed by highly questionable religious and species-centric reasoning over a long time.
- jetrink 8y agoThere might be an octopus on Proxima Centauri b that is incredibly good at being an octopus, but if it can't build a radio, we can't talk to it. In this context, intelligence is defined in practical terms and we're interested in civilizations that can communicate with us over distance.
