A spider has intelligence too. It's far more limited than a mammal's, but it's still on the same spectrum. And intelligence is not a single linear measure. AIs outperform humans on some tasks and are worse than rats at others. So it's more like that AIs have this weirdly shaped higher-dimensional capability surface that partially overlaps with what we consider intelligence. Haggling about which exact overlap gets to be called intelligence and which doesn't seems like... unproductive border-drawing on a poorly charted concept-map. Considering that they're getting more powerful with each year and such policies are about future capabilities, not just today's.
