I think the dismissal of "creativity" in the footnote is misguided. I think creativity is easier to define than "intelligence" and better explains the intuitive difference between e.g. humans and animals and between humans and current AI systems. "Intelligence" often gets mixed up with arguably irrelevant things like computational speed, memory (recall), or the ability to solve problems in some narrow niche. But creativity gets to the generalness of what humans can do that other animals and current AI systems apparently can not, which is to create new knowledge by conjecturing (and criticizing) new ideas with no apparent bounds on the subject matter or reach of those ideas.
