NB: I’ve edited the sentence to clarify what I meant.
The argument here is more that recommender systems are maximization algorithms, and that, if you buy the “orthogonality thesis”, there is no reason to think that there cannot go AGI. In particular, you should not judge the capability of an algorithm by the simplicity of the task it is given.
Of course, you may reject the orthogonality thesis. If so, please ignore the first argument.
