The puzzles are calibrated for human solve rates, but otherwise I agree.

My two elderly parents cannot solve Arc-AGI puzzles, but can manage to navigate the physical world, their house, garden, make meals, clean the house, use the TV, etc.

I would say they do have "general intelligence", so whatever Arc-AGI is "solving" it's definitely not "AGI"

You are confusing fluid intelligence with crystallised intelligence.

I think you are making that confusion. Any robotic system in the place of his parents would fail with a few hours.

There are more novel tasks in a day than ARC provides.

Children have great levels of fluid intelligence, that's how they are able to learn to quickly navigate in a world that they are still very new to. Seniors with decreasing capacity increasingly rely on crystallised intelligence, that's why they can still perform tasks like driving a car but can fail at completely novel tasks, sometimes even using a smartphone if they have not used one before.

		It really depends on motivation. My 90 year old grandmother can use a smartphone just fine since she needs it to see pictures of her (great) grandkids.
