Well, Jim, for a reader ignorant about AGI, it seems necessary to give pointers (in such an article) to SOME specific examples of proto-AGI work, rather than just leaving it vague. But in a short article it's not possible to give references to ALL current examples of proto-AGI work.... So I had to choose some particular examples..... Of course any particular choice of examples isn't gonna please everyone...
I would add that the process of getting that article published took a long time, due to many requests for revisions by the referees.... The final form is a sort of compromise between me and the referees, as often happens...
