I’m still skeptical that AGI is a coherent concept, mostly because I am skeptical that general intelligence is one thing rather than a cluster of capabilities, and I am skeptical than humans are even the most “generally intelligent” species on the planet.
Here is a video demonstrating the working memory of a chimpanzee. It is obviously considerably better than a human’s. Given this information we must accept one of the following are true:
- humans do not have the highest general intelligence of all animals
- working memory is not a necessary component of general intelligence
- other human capabilities (communication for example) can make up for our working memory deficiencies
