I hear you say these words a lot. I think, by using the word "level", you're trying to say something different to "general intelligence just like humans have" but I'm not sure everyone else reads it that way. Can you clarify? Humans have all these interests that, although they might be interesting to study with AGI, I'm not terribly interested in putting in an AGI that I put to work. I don't need an AGI that cries for its mother, or thinks about eating, or yearns for freedom and so I simply won't teach it these things. If, by some fortuitous accident, it happens to develop any of these concepts, or any other concepts that I deem useless for the tasks I set it, I'll expect them to be quickly purged from its limited memory space to make room for concepts that are useful. As such, I can imagine an AGI having a "human level" intelligence that is very different to a "human-like" intelligence. This is not to say that creating an AGI with human-like intelligence is necessarily a bad thing. Some people want to create simulated humans, and that's interesting too.. just not as interesting to me.
