To achieve AGI we will need to program the following:
knowledge creating processes
emotions
creativity
free will
consciousness.
I suspect a large part of the crux is the definition of AGI itself. I don’t know many people who think that an agent / system must fulfill all of the above criteria to qualify as ‘AGI’. I personally use the term AGI to refer to systems that have at least human-level capabilities at all tasks that a human is capable of performing, regardless of whether the system posses other properties like consciousness and free will.
On a separate matter, I think it might be a good idea if there is a dual voting system for posts, just like comments, where people can upvote/downvote and also agree/disagree vote. This is a post that I would upvote but strong disagree on. In the meantime I gave it an upvote anyway, since I like posts that at least attempt to constructively challenge prevailing worldviews, and also to balance out all the downvotes.
