Therefore, achieving AGI via a non-biological cognitive process is unlikely compared to biologically inspired architectures.
When we engineer a system, we start with a deterministic substrate and a deterministic set of tools that we use to manipulate the substrate to add a function that interfaces with the existing ones. Living systems must carry all structure into the environment by themselves.

I engineer without determinism all day long.

Can you expound a bit more on this? How do you handle non-determinism and still be able to implement something?

Living systems don’t need to carry all their structure into the environment. The environment is part of their structure. And when they carry they may rely on each other for the burden.

This ecological idea is overlooked by too many. Furthermore, it also is relevant for cognitive development. The environment is part of cognition. This is Andy Clark's extended mind idea.
