What determines whether an NPC is in intelligent or not is not due to character stats (i.e. Int & Wisdom) nor is it programming but rather the character's trait inherited from what their creators (we, the players) intended for them.

This has been mentioned in earlier volumes where Albedo's changed settings made her obsessively in love with ainz. A clear-cut of a sentence "He is an extremely wise and intelligent NPC" could've easily explained demiurge's character.

Because of this, stats ( Intelligence wise ) do not have an effect on a players' or an NPCs' intellect.

But there's a contradiction. If stats such as strength or defense ( Magical & Physical ) have an effect on a player and NPCs alike then why not other stats such as wisdom ( Which we have no actual proof of ) leave Yggdrassil beings unaffected?

First off, as mentioned before, there's no actual proof of this ( If I'm wrong, reprimand me for this ). A game so ahead of our time is bound to change in many ways. Concepts come and go, so do words too, while wisdom and such would be the norm ( magic wise ) for increasing magical capabilities in today's gaming world it can't be said for sure in a game set decades and decades after us ( A virtual one at that ).

But when you think that the novel's magic system is based on D&D then this could be easily refuted.

As for theories regarding this subject, ( subconsciously smart Ainz ) is far too unrealistic. I feel that readers are probing way too much into the novel, I doubt Maruyama actually intended for it to go this deep. All he wanted was entertain humor in an otherwise world so full of grey and dark universe. While I love the Overlord series, it's not a masterpiece, it's a Light novel meant to be enjoyed.

Fan theories such as these are great, I like them. It goes to show how much we think of overlord in our spare time ( me included ) but when these are stated as actual it makes for a very unconvincing point.

Tdlr; Fan theories are not realistic enough. So I make up a reasonable explanation instead.
