IQ as a precise, cross-comparable measure? Sure.

As a conceptual shorthand to describe the concept of intelligence? No.

The previous comments were talking of IQ in a quantitative way ("x points less"), so they fit in the first definition.

Even the second definition is not really a thing. Intelligence as a concept doesn't mean much and needs to be defined properly. Using it this way is just another way to divide people superficially.
