That's why task based notions for general intelligence are rubbish.
Here is what humans can do: When presented with pretty much any task, specified however poorly, they can design hardware and algorithms that can beat themselve at that task.
That's a decent measure of intelligence. A decent measure of creativity is coming up with tasks that make the intelligence part as interesting as possible.
Optimizing compilers do this already and they aren't 'intelligent'. Iirc alpha go is based on the same algo that could beat all atari games sight unseen.. satisfying the 'novel situation' requirement you set forth..
