Because priors, experience, task-specific skill, and task novelty can all be formally quantified via algorithmic information theory, we can also quantify intelligence in this way.

Skill is sometimes confused for intelligence. That's a category error. Intelligence is the ability to efficiently turn the resources at your disposal into new skills at arbitrary tasks. Intelligence is a conversion ratio between information (priors and experience) and skills.

Interesting description of the definition. You’ve articulated it very beautifully

I think we need other term for efficiency of learning. Most people do not use a term intelligent to mean how good somebody is at skill acquisition. There is a difference between skill acquisition and its effects. In your definition adults are dumber than children/infants.

You defined something like first derivative of intelligence. The second derivative would be how much you can improve your skill acquisition by priors and experience. The AGI singularity people basically fear such "second derivatives" (and higher ones).

Thank you. No not sometimes. I tend to think skills and intelligence to be a spectrum in such a way that skill is a more grounded manifestation of intelligence. It requires analytical thinking to move towards intelligence side of the spectrum.

Reminds me of an apocryphal Lev Landau quote: "Anyone can become a member of the Academy of Sciences. It's just that some people need 30 years to get there, and some would need 300."

What about skills at intelligence gathering? You can have intelligence in the knowledge of basketball but if you don’t have the skills from experience then your intelligence doesn’t mean much. I’m prob wrong though... it’s Interesting that you can quantify it, I’d love to see it
-
You can have skill without having intelligence, you can be born with natural skills, but you can’t have true intelligence without having skill alongside knowledge?
Possibly a better way of putting it idk, possibly totally wrong lol
