"If an intelligence were as intelligent as your intelligence, would you treat it intelligently?" - this is 'basically' what you're asking and I think the answer to it is inevitable since it seems to me to be structured as a tautology

That said intelligence and amiability aren't the same. People are happier being 'friends' with nice people who aren't that smart than with smart people who aren't that nice. Pivot should be something other than what's likely logical-mathematical or linguistic intelligence
