Intentional as in that intelligent life is an almost guaranteed result of it?

It seems to me that it's almost a mathematical certainty that intelligent life will come to being given enough time and proper conditions. Lesser forms of intelligent life will inevitably continue to get wiped out do to extinction events until it can evolve enough to become rational/smart enough to avoid them.

If the above is accepted, it would seem that intelligent life is an intended outcome of evolution.

This assumes that the intellectual jump that occured with homo sapiens wasnt an act of freak chance and isnt uncommon on a universal scale. I also understand I am not providing a robust definition of 'intelligent life' and making a fairly casual claim lol. But just something I've always thought about.
