AGI can’t exist. Human dna carries billions of lifetimes of experience.

It does not exist.
Even human intelligence is highly specialized.
We can talk about human-level AI.
But AGI is nonsense.

Why does that mean AGI can’t exist? (asking genuinely, not confrontationally)

Much of what makes us intelligent in the human niche are specialized insights into the human niche.

I will argue instead that AGI can only be grown in the human niche. It can't be programmed.

AGI is the persistence of a technoscientific myth of contact with the superhuman at the heart of a secular enterprise; an allegory of faith in a disenchanted universe.

Is it simply the scientific study of general intelligence by using simulation.

There is no general intelligence

What's your definition of GI? Humans are not general intelligences?
I don't think such an arbitrary definition is useful since it would lack specificity and reduce phenotypic plasticity to a set of supposedly human-exclusive measurable objectives. The boundaries of human beings are blurry. If you want to study a brittle abstraction go on with GI.

The irony is that being surrounded by so many intelligences: bees, whales, chimpanzees, DNA molecules, computers, beetles, slime mold and even the earth as a gaian ecosystem, we still feel the necessity to recreate the strangeness that we miss in a computational abstraction.
