      I don't really like the term "AGI", and I prefer to use "strong AI" to denote artificial intelligence at human level or above. First of all, because intelligence is never general in any real sense. Human intelligence itself is highly specialized. Specialization is a requirement.

      While that sounds convincing, it's contrary to psychological scientific consensus. Evidence strongly suggests a g factor: people who are good at one cognitive task are very likely to be good at another.

      Human intelligence "generalizes" across the domains that human intelligence is specialized in. That doesn't make it general. Humans actually suck at *most* tasks.

      As a simple example: let's say you're good at "language learning", then you'll be good at learning *any* language (a "g" factor across languages). Yet, "being good at language learning" is still a specialized form of intelligence.

          Similarly, when it comes to "being good at the tasks that humans usually choose to undertake", you'll see that a "g" factor across these tasks, yet this remains a specialized form of intelligence.

          This tweet, however, seems correct to me. The psy theory is immune against this argument as IQ is defined relative to other people - so a high iq person should be better at octopusing than a low one. But I get the different perspective of agi to be concerned with _every_ task..

          Again, this sounds reasonable but is not in line with psychological consensus (and yes it exists). The fun thing about g-factor is, that people who are good "language learners" also tend to be good at math! It doesn't explain all the variance, obviously, but the greatest part.
