which gets us closer to philosophical questions which I'm personally not that interested in.

>In the same way airplanes fail the 'bird replacement' requirement, AIs currently fail most AGI requirements only on the terms: "fully", "all" and "any".

I'm not sure we want a machine that fully succeeds that test.

Planes pass the 'bird replacement' test on the only criteria that matters to us ... flying.

If we wanted nest making planes I think we'd have them by now. Nest making doesn't rate highly on the problems we're looking to solve though.

I don't want a machine that is moody, or depressed or has schizophrenia, which are all pat of the human condition.

We don't need the human "intuition magic dust" to do 99.99999% of useful work.

They're machines designed to do the work we don't want to. That's as "general" as their intelligence needs to be.

I'd prefer if my clothes folding machine did not have an existential crisis.
