It is not a matter of a "bar": intelligence is what it is. You cannot call the uncooked a biscuit.
But that is not the issue: there is a core function of intelligence, and if that is implemented, the engine is "intelligent" even when the entities (including relations) it manages are limited. To build "moving", a wheel is sufficient. The first goal can be to build a simple intelligence.
But to fulfill its promises, it has to be able to grow through its own constitutional features. The difficulty is to make that engine plastic, accommodating, "all-purpose", fertile enough so that it could achieve a Doctorate (through severe, intelligent and discriminating evaluators - let us always remember that tricks will never count) when enough resources will be invested in its expansion. The real difficulty is understanding what is the blueprint for such an engine, that makes modules emerge without installing them in - those complexities that are expected to be developed inside the engine cannot be implants. The real difficulty is to draw the lean engine for an intelligence - to define its essential, productive components.
Some humans are, very, very, very unfortunately, simply heavily lacking in displayed intelligence: but again, that does not change definitions. An underdeveloped and damaged function cannot count as a model. And when we build a machine, the goal is to implement a function optimally.
No, for many reasons.
