Replying to @Plinz
Surely if brains are not generally intelligent, that is quite strong evidence that general intelligence (at least what's meant by that definition) is not possible at all?

It is strong evidence that humans were able to survive and procreate without general intelligence

But then on what basis do we even expect 'general intelligence' to be possible, if we now don't have a single existing example of it?

Human civilization may be generally intelligent, when left undisturbed over a sufficient time span

Sure, I can believe that. But human civilisation is comprised of humans. Do we have a good reason to expect we can build generally intelligent AI out of components significantly simpler than human minds?

Everything capable of regular state change bottoms out in finite automata. Brains consist of cells, which consist of molecules.
