This baby girl tries hard to mimic her daddy’s singing, watching his mouth move then trying to move hers, and you can hear her trying to let her voice out. Are babies actually smart?
Of course; they're humans, no? And they're humans brought into a world they have almost NO understanding of, so their little brains are BLAZINGLY fast, way more than yours or mine; they have HUGE amounts of sensory data to process, and no idea what's important and what isn't.
I have a theory (though it's just a theory) that if you were to look at the active parts of a baby's brain processing information in a new situation, it'd look a lot more like an autist's than an allist's; they don't have the experience to know what to include and what not to.

Not knowing much about the development of the human mind, having heard that babies' brains continue to develop as they grow, I would still certainly hazard a guess that babies are smarter than many adults might know.
I don't recall ever having had an injection of intelligence during my childhood.
The trolls may now enter the arena if they so dare.
Absolutley! That's a cute video. They are constantly learning, in fact they usually meet milestones along the way as they get older. https://www.parents.com/baby/development/

That depends on the baby and how smart someone thinks they are. My baby was understanding a lot of speech at one and talking quite clearly at eighteen months.
yes. Kids brains aren’t fully developed yet. But they aren’t stupid
No. Don't be daft.
A human baby can barely see until around 2 or three. So it's laughable to assume the clip is what you think it is.
babies are dumber than grown ravens or dolphins. obviously they have "some" ammount of cognitive ability. they're not a stone. but they also do not have much in terms of intelligence. maybe more than some animals but that's it.
Your intelligence doesn't get better with age; you just gain knowledge. If I knew what I know now when I was 6 months old; I could have easily done calculus.
Have you ever argued with a 5 year old when they get there? I guarantee you will lose.
Of course.
