Humans provide a fun comparison point here.

In the 80s, the "cognitive consequences of programming" was a major psychological research focus. The prevailing hypothesis was that learning formal logic and algorithmic structures through computer programming would act as a form of mental gymnastics that could upgrade general reasoning, planning, and novel problem-solving abilities. But foundational research, followed by subsequent meta-analyses, demonstrated that this does not happen. Students who learn programming become highly proficient at algorithmic thinking and coding, but these gains do not transfer to general cognitive tasks or unrelated problem-solving scenarios. Similarly, intensive mathematical training improves mathematical deduction and structural mapping, but does not increase an individual's baseline rate of skill acquisition in unrelated fields.

General intelligence seems to be a fundamental property of the brain rather than a skill you can train. Practicing in a domain makes you better at the domain but does not make you generally smarter.
