You can get general purpose capabilities from these advanced transformer models without giving them animal-like characteristics and states such as autonomy, integrated stream-of-consciousness, emotions, survival instincts, etc. Build the Star Trek computer. Maybe give it arms and legs. Don't build Data and make him a slave. That's not going to work out. People will do it eventually anyway but hopefully that won't happen for at least a few generations.
