I've long thought there is some sort of intelligence parallel to Turing Completeness: given enough time, resources and experimentation, it can figure anything out.
At least at a super-organism level, humanity has achieved that, in my opinion. However, I'm not sure whether any individual human can be said to meet that criteria. Perhaps some exceptional examples meet that criteria, or maybe there is some vague IQ cut-off where any human could meet that criteria if given a really long time to study a problem - but I'm fairly certain that many humans don't meet that criteria individually.
Obviously this isn't a mathematical or scientifically provable statement, just a general concept that gets a bit fuzzy at the edges.
What I would add is a lot of people seem to judge AI overly harshly compared to humans, perhaps comparing them against humanity as a super-organism or at least an above average human. Sure, ChatGPT makes weird mistakes and can't write code as well as me, but compared to many people I know, it's a far better programmer and possibly less error prone in general. Too many people are like "ha it can't solve this differential equation", but my mum doesn't even know what a differential equation is, and thought that the moon was the sun at night. At least ChatGPT knows the moon is a distinct celestial body to the sun.
