"Pick a bunch of AI problems and see how well it does on all of them." The problem is, you have infinite potential algorithms and a finite number of tests. This means you'll necessarily get algorithms that pass all your tests but fail at least one other test of intelligence. Because of this, your tests won't actually let you discover which of the generated algorithms is intelligent. Or, you could have an infinite number of tests, but if you have infinite tests for intelligence, you effectively already have an algorithm for intelligence (for any problem, just look up the answer in your list of tests), so, again, brute-forcing a solution isn't helpful.
