But that doesn't mean you couldn't evolve a strategy that spends a really long time thinking and analyzing to get asymptotically close to the best guess. There's no limit on that intelligence.
Isn’t the limit exactly what you’re describing? There’s always uncertainty, and your asymptote can approach its limit but it does have a limit. That’s the limit to the intelligence. And this is just for cross entropy loss- even if you could get loss to 0, I’m still not convinced at all that an enormous semantic map and its convoluted geometries amounts to intelligence.
