No, if anything just the converse:  it can be used to 'prove' that
machines *are* intelligent, but not  vice versa.  It is *far* too stringent
to be a *necessary* condition for intelligence, since it would rule almost
any extraterrestrial as *un*intelligent, due to excessive differences
from human beings.
