In such context intelligent is much more relative. Same thing with animals. There is also big difference with ai not having a proper body yet.
There are a number of low level jobs that can be done by both children and animals for instance a service dog. They are both capable intelligent creatures.
In the past children started to work in a factory the moment they could stand on their legs.
It would be near impossible for a 2yo or a dog to do a work from home assignment but for AI this should by far be an advantageous situation because its trained on computer data and does not need to spend so much of its “brain” learning to move and go potty.
It is relevant because “intelligence” is a collection of multiple things. The first kinds of intelligence a living creature learns are all fysical. If you instinctively pull your hand away when it touched fire. Thats already a kind of intelligence. Learning to understand and act on bodily needs to survive is bigger example.
The first steps towards emotional intelligence starts with the physical comfort of the womb and hugs received as a baby.
Every sentient creature we have ever known starts as autonomous body. A child without a body does not exists.
