It's not intelligence, it's just learned helplessness, like when someone gives up when there are too many bats in their house.
It all really has to do with the simple details and sciences, and not scrutinizing it too much. The idea is (as Milton stated in season 3) that by removing their arms and jaws. They essentially lose their purpose. If a walker can think, even the most basic primal instinct driven thoughts, then all it thinks is it wants food. (hence the mindless walking for eternity) Take away the arms so it can't reach out after you. Take away the jaws so it can't even bite you, then it's only purpose is totally stripped away and it's just a thing, walking wherever it is led.
This is a sound theory. It explains the first set of walkers Michonne had. When she created that second set of "pet walkers" at the beginning of this season, I did note that they became "tame" too fast. It should take a while before they realize on that base level that they can't do anymore and then just become walkers.
