I agree with this, although I think people would say that “general” part of AGI means that domain specific AI’s won’t count, that’s just semantics though.
It seems reasonable to me that narrow AI’s focused on one specific thing will outperform “general” AI on most tasks, the same way that the winner of an olympic triathlon is usually not the winner of the individual swimming, running or cycling events. If this is true, then there is dramatically less incentive to make one that is “general”, instead of making a boatload of hyper specific ones for whatever purpose you need.
