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.

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.

So your argument is that there's no GI because GI can't be defined? Hence your statement 'there's no GI' has no truth value. You don't know if it halts.

TLDR: GI is a panchreston.

A few decades ago you could say the same thing about biological life.

I don't think AGI is a pluralistic concept, quite the opposite.
