What is a good way to test for better than human intelligence?

Proposal - The Skibidi toilet test

So the test is very simple:

Could an artificial intelligence create a piece of media on demand that reached similar levels of cultural impact as Skibidi toilet?

Why?

1) This is not currently humanly possible. Many try, and some are better than others, but it is fundamentally impossible to predict.

2) Out of distribution By definition it has to be something unique, eliciting a thats cool response.

3)Models other minds The tone \ content \ semiotics has to speak to a large enough group of people and worth sharing.

4) Surfing the Geist To both understand and respond to the Geist, to directly observe the "anima mundi, spiritus universi"
