Hypothetically speaking, what would happen if we were to selectively breed chimpanzees (or orangutans or gorillas) for intelligence? I know this is basically impossible for many reasons but if it were possible, would it eventually result in apes with intelligence closer to that of humans?

I doubt their genome is as slippery or loose as a dog's or cat's. Defining which one is more intelligent from the other could be difficult.
Also, if I were to do that, I'd take the Bili apes, as they are both stronger yet more calm around humans. As quote "There is little to no aggression, yet no fear, either."
