Like, if every task can be done by a separate dumb AI, why do we even need AGI? (FYI I'm not talking about artificial minds we make on purpose to essentially be new citizens, I'm talking about uses outside that, of which I can't find any). Like, the only use I've ever heard of is that it'll go singularity, which just doesn't seem plausible and is really more about ASI than AGI.
The assumption that AGI is inherently useful or needed derives from a fundamental misunderstanding of a lot of things.
Intelligence is adaptation and an artificial being designed for a task doesn't need to adapt to things outside its parameters.
You don't need your "figure out how to assign resources" machine to imagine what doing something else would feel like.
It's like if insisting a bottling machine be able to walk.
Sure it's a funny proof of concept but it's not actually doing anything.
