Yes, that’s fair enough. It’s not like we have any examples of systems that have human-level intelligence in a broad context for the term to apply to anyway.
I do still think it’s a useful term for hypothetical discussions, referring to systems that are not obviously subhuman nor superhuman in broad capabilities. It is possible that such systems may never exist. If we develop superintelligence, it may be via systems that are always obviously subhuman in some respects and superhuman in others, or with a discontinuity in capability, or other even stranger possibilities.
