I think it's a poor definition. I don't like change. I don't like going to new places, I like my routine. Change makes me uncomfortable and I'm slow to accept it. I like my usual meals and sleeping in my own bed. Does that make me unintelligent? Or does "change" need to be better defined?

Adapting and liking are two different things. Adapting to change by devising ways to keep your routine needs a minimum of intelligence. Though I make no statement on any relative or absolute scale.

i would imagine they mean a change in information not a change in routine. updating your mental model of the world based on new incoming information.

That's why I'd like the definition to be refined. There's also displays of intelligence that have nothing to do with change - being able to do complex math in your head would indicate you're intelligent, but has nothing to do with change.

So a thermostat is intelligent?

No because it can't protect itself from water or run away from a lion. It's extremely limited in the range of environments it can adapt to.

So is someone who is unable to move unintelligent?

not "the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills"?

I couldn't disagree more.

You must think CPU's are very intelligent

Or to create change.
