But there's no such thing as.a person who is flawless at maths but has no concept of a musical instrument or navigating a city, or moving their limbs, or communicating, or eating, or setting itself any goals, or achieving any goals other than answer the math question.

General intelligence isn't a claim that all humans are polymaths. It's a claim that AIs are so overfitted to succeeding in one narrow human domain like rearranging ASCII strings they fail to achieve infant-level (or even worm-level) competence in virtually all others, and that it responds to new situations by assuming they're an instance of what it has been trained to do rather than considering different approaches.
