When you sit down and listen to what the "hyped about AI" folks believe, it's equal parts weird and insulting.

But at a surface level, the whole notion of "AGI" (Artificial General Intelligence) is absurd.

No, not the Artificial part. The General part.

Intelligence is not a one-dimensional thing. You can't reduce the human experience to a single scalar value. You can't then build a hierarchy out of General Intelligence scores. This is eugenics thinking. This is fascist thinking (see: Ur Fascism).

And it gets even worse from there!
