IQ tests lose relevance completely on non human subjects. If LLM's were trained for IQ tests they would be exceptional at it, but they may still not be able to have a simple conversation. IQ tests presume that a great deal of abilities to be normal and common to all humans. AI could lack a lot of them and still beat all humans on IQ tests.

Common misconception

IQ tests measure g which has nothing to do with "being human" it's a general theory of cognitive function

There's no (universally accepted) general theory of cognitive function though. G factor is a part of a model that fits experimental data: performance on all cognitive tasks tend to positively correlate (for human subjects, obviously).

LLMs (as they are today) have limitations that will not allow them to achieve human-level performance on many tasks. So, g factor model of cognitive performance doesn't fit LLMs.

I never said that. I meant it doesn't measure a lot of things because most of those things are common.

Are you aware that humans can be trained to get better in IQ tests and that most tests have a cultural bias?
