So much AI discourse tacitly assumes that there's an objective quality that corresponds to "being smart", rather than a chaotic patchwork of extremely contextual social practices and expectations.
I totally understand what a developer might mean by 'smart' but we should have the self awareness to recognize it's barely meaningful outside of what we do.
That it doesn't even work now.
The word 'smart' there is actually doing a lot of heavy lifting, it's entirely contextualized.
