Yes, this is one of the things we are working towards with Novamente.
Unfortunately, meeting this "low barrier" based on a genuine AGI
architecture is a lot more work than doing so in a more bogus way
based on an architecture without growth potential...

Ben,

If I am beating a dead horse, please feel free to ignore this, but I'm
imagining a prototype that shows glimmerings of AGI. Such a system, though
not useful or commercially viable, would  sometimes act in interesting, even
creepy, ways. It might be inconsistent and buggy, and work in a limited
domain.

This sets a low barrier, since existing systems occasionally meet this
description. The key difference is that the hypothesized prototype would
have an AGI engine under it and would rapidly improve.
