Dear Mike Archbold, As I see AGI, since AGI itself is versatile, why AGI scientists should not be versatile (I just mean multi-talented) too? For example, I like that Ben Goertzel also produces music. On the other hand, why AGIS should not produce films in order to provide an informative introduction for other people (I mean the people who are not directly into AGI)? Many people do not know much about AGI or may have negative thoughts about it. May a well elaborate movie made by AGIS change this. A movie is more understandable to other people than articles,formulas, peogram codes, etc.
In my opinion, AGI is like an vast ocean and film making, theory and implementation are just like three islands in this ocean. However, in alignment to your opinion, it is obvious that compared to producing a movie, the latter two islands are much much larger and they are absolutely harder to discover.
