Ben , You just made the most incredibly basic mistake – confusing a zillion programs with one program. Confusing specialist programs with a general program.
If you were “really, really” interested in AGI, you’d want to understand why....

Specialist programs, basically one per pattern. In order to recognize all of them as “patterns” , they would all – all zillion patterns - have to be compressible into just ONE program, just one and the SAME program that could identify/generate every different example of a pattern. Including ones not yet invented. Not a zillion programs, just one. That’s not “easy” Ben, that’s the unsolved problem of AGI. .You sure you’re really interested in it?
