I totally agree with the general sentiment of the comments and the article that AGI is a long way off... in the anthropomorphic sense we usually imagine. That said in many regards, the sum total of the internet, social networks and automated systems that already exist, to me is fast beginning to resemble an emergent AGI / ASI, and furthermore is already out and about busy doing its business. That it just happens to use networks, humans and machines as cells and DNA seems kind of irrelevant. Of course this is a silly POV thought experiment, but seriously, if that were the case, would we even notice? I'm not sure our own cells and DNA know they are part of a larger entity for example. Okay, enough weird thoughts.. time for bed.
