    Francois Chollet sees intelligence as the ability to generalize efficiently to new situations, beyond prior knowledge.
    The ARC test, developed by Chollet, benchmarks fluid intelligence by using tasks requiring core knowledge priors without external information.
    Chollet argues that language is an operating system for the mind, not fundamental to cognition itself.
