And you are part of the problem insisting that an AGI should be tested by its ability to learn on its own and not get instruction/help from other agents be they human or other artificial intelligences. The social aspect of mimicry has been picked up Ben Goertzel at least in the initial stages of development of his AGI, he may think it will evolve beyond that eventually. I don't think it will, as every mind is capable of getting stuck in a rut (they are attractor states), getting out of that rut is easier with other intelligences to show the way out (themselves getting stuck in different ruts). Societies can get stuck in their own ruts but generally have bigger spaces to explore, so might find their way out in a long time.
