It is also the ability to figure out what goals you should pursue. Which in turn guides the development of your own intelligence

agree for cases where it can increase intelligence/achievement, but more broadly, goal creation as intelligence seems problematic-

seems like more of a wisdom thing in the general case, bordering on ethics in some cases, than intelligence per se, no?

certainly a big part of being human, whether or not it fits under intelligence banner

It does, much like, say, intrinsic motivation for reinforcement learning, or hierarchical sub-goal generation for curriculum learning

what's your definition of intelligence?

I don't have a fixed definition, that would be too restrictive. I also don't believe in "general intelligence", for what it's worth

think that's where we differ then :) not dogmatic about it but v roughly think of it as ability to achieve many goals in many envs
