AGI’s 'general' is the wrong word, I thinkg. Humans aren’t general, we’re jagged. Strong in some areas, weak in others, and already surpassed in many domains. LLM are way past us at languages for instance. Calculators passed us at

I agree, even more generally, in that if you think about any medium from a creator perspective there is so much more depth to it. Pop music is not my thing, but I read a book about it, and the max martins and production function of these gi
