I just see the difference as a LOT more lines of code. AGI for software implementation is a lot of code. AI is smaller chunks here and there. > 2.

Some AGI designs may work and others, say 2nd generation AGI designs (can I call them that?) like Novamente may be real close to working with their actual mirrored implementation in software. Other AGI designs may need significant testing and adjusting when development is performed. > 3.

Human AGI is difficult to estimate. Many highly profitable pre-AGI or non-human AGI systems may be more of a justifiable business expense. > 4.

The economy and marketplace usually works things out in its own way. I think universities should throw more resources at the problem perhaps in coordination with corporations.
