I think many people give too much credit for intelligence, which is generally interpreted from an anthropocentric perspective. Fitness for successive reproductions has nothing to do with a Turing test or any other similar measure of human likeness. Before there are any claims to the inevitability of AGI, I'd like to see a convincing argument that AGI is not an evolutionary dead end.

Our minds are what made us the apex predators of the entire planet and allowed us to rise to levels of complexity orders of magnitude higher than any other creature around us. Sure, it's anthropocentric, but so is the entire world now, because of our species' intelligence.
