If all definitions of intelligence end up with a judgment call, we might
as well throw away all of them and just say "Intelligence is what a
human would consider intelligent".


But, also, then

"Sexy is what a human would consider sexy"

Yet, intelligence and sexiness are not the same thing...

The formulation

"Intelligence, as assessed by humans, is: The ability to
achieve complex goals in complex environments, where
complexity is assessed by humans"

says more than

"Intelligence is what a human would consider intelligent"

even though both are subjective.

Objective definitions are not the only kind.
