I still don't grok why #GeneraPurposeAI #GPAI #AGI systems are exciting.

I get the pursuit to understand human mind/intelligence. We can consider humans to be generally intelligent - we can learn and adapt to so many things.

But, for #AI #ML, I want to see improved support for various human tasks.

Current crop of #AGI are not human-like & don't serve as explanatory theories of the human mind.

Worse, their fame as 'generally intelligent' moves focus from specific usecases towards 'magic'.
