> I think any domain-specific intelligence, as it approximates "perfect", would independently discover and solve similar high level questions and be transferable to other domains There is a trap here, in the sense that we tend to lump all the unsolved AI problems into to the "requires AGI" bucket. Some computer scientists thought that a program that could beat a human in chess would have to be an AGI (can't find a source for this, can someone help?). Language translation that's good enough to convey basic meaning is another one that turned out to be _much_ easier to do than what was suspected. I'm still dumbfounded by GPT-2 and suddenly the Turing test doesn't seem that far out of reach as it used to. What if 99% of human intellectual tasks can be solved by domain-specific intelligence? What if we're not as smart as we think we are? That seems to be a trend. On the other hand, there are some tasks that cannot be subdivided, and necessarily requires a massive amount of context about human culture, the real world, and excellent logical reason ability. The program that links the domain-specific programs might have to be like that, and then we're back at something that looks _very much_ like an AGI.
