I think here, a problem is we don't actually know how our 'intelengece' works, it's not what we think it is, our brain takes a huge amount of shortcuts to arrive at the results it gets, it's not outright intelligent in the way most assume, hence we are victim to all sorts of cognative basis and tricks.
Our ability to reason, from an evoultion perspective came about from needing to communicate with others, i.e to give reasons for things, it's this same system we use to be 'logical' or think we are being inteligent from, but it's effectively just a system to make excuses for things, hence why we might choose something in a store for reasons of falling for some form of marketing, but give a completely different logical sounding reason for doing so, hence conspiracy theorists, when confronted with evidence against that theory, don't change there theory, but change there excuse.
I believe this could be more profound and have bigger implications than we have realised.
This is no different to what a lot of AI models are doing right now when they are wrong and people are calling that out saying there is no intelligence behind that, as it's spouts some nonsense reason for being right, but the problem is, humans do this all the time and I think we do it way more than we realise, the trouble is we are so caught up in it, we cannot see it.
What we have with the human brain is something that wasn't designed logically but via evolution which gives the illusion of intelligence or arrives at mostly the same result, but in completely different ways than expected, therefore I think the path to an AGI, might not be quite what some are saying or expects it to be, because the human brain certainly doesn't work like that.
