How's my brain working then?

Magic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hacker News comments have it covered.

'AGI' generally means 'machine intelligence as general as human intelligence'.

The claim here is 'it's impossible to have machine intelligence with zero specialisation'. Sure, but that's not what people are talking about with AGI

LeCun has been saying this for years:

It's just a semantic argument.

The very first comment:

Unless you believe in magic, the human brain proves that human level general intelligence is possible in our physical universe, running on a system based on the laws of said physical universe. Given that, there's no particular reason to think that "what the brain does" OR a reasonably close approximation, can't be done on another "system based on the laws of our physical universe."
