I think that the "g factor" and IQ scores are measures of a real phenomenon, but in the future as we come to understand intelligence better and we have more advanced artificial intelligence, we will be able to observe and model the diversity of human intelligence with much finer-grained resolution.
The situation is analogous to Astronomy, where over the past century or so we have gained better and better instruments that allow us to observe the same complex objects in finer and finer detail and discover more and more about them in the process.
