Information-from-intelligence is a misnomer. You've seen people create information. They utilize their intelligence to do that. They also expend energy in the process. The intelligence is no more a direct cause of the information than the energy was.
What's required is an intelligent entity.
I don’t really understand your point, I guess. I have used “intelligent agent” and “intelligence” sort of interchangeably. I would agree that an intelligent entity, whatever its form, is necessary. I don’t know why that distinction is important when discussing the origin of information. But still, it is because the entity is intelligent, not because it is human, that it can originate information - at least that is what has been observed.
