You don’t know how I think of the Good.
If you think the Abrahamic faiths are “anthropomorphic” it is you who do not understand how THEY think about god.
νοῦς as “intellect” entails consciousness, thought, awareness. You cannot have a mechanical νοῦς.

Furthermore, since the νοῦς, the Intellect or Intelligence, is derivative from The Good, it follows that the Good has intelligence or intellect (or IS it); else it would not have it to give to the νοῦς.
Strictly, the Good would be “beyond Intellect” but more like it than not.

Aristotle’s unactualized actualizer JUST IS pure νοῦς in ενέργεια, that is, at work or in act, and the work of νοῦς is νοεῖν.
Aristotle’s God can correctly be characterized as
Thinking thinking thinking,
and since this is the act of pure actuality,
Being being being.
