How would you, personally, operationalize intelligence? Outperforming humans across a broad range of tasks does sound like general competence. That said, we do want to make sure the tasks are 1) not stupid, and 2) not cherry picked.
Requiring outputs to generate profit is a well-established proxy for human value, even if it's imperfect, and letting the economy pick tasks makes it hard for OpenAI to cherry pick.
I don't know about you, but a reliable ability to generate high value sounds like the kind of intelligence I care about.
On the meta-level, I think disagreements like this about "actual intelligence" and "really conscious" do a good job of showing how out of distribution we are on our human wetware classifiers. The terms really are fuzzy and ill-suited for generating understanding of current AI model behavior, IMHO.
