No, I keep saying - I'm not asking for the odd narrowly-defined task - but
rather defining CLASSES of specific problems that your/an AGI will be able to
tackle. Part of the definition task should be to explain how if you can solve
one kind of problem, then you will be able to solve other distinct kinds.
It's interesting - & I'm not being in any way critical - that this isn't
getting through.

Not much point in arguing further here - all I can say now is TRY it - try
focussing your work the other way round - I'm confident you'll find it makes
life vastly easier and more productive. Defining what it does is just as
essential for the designer as for the consumer.
Focusing on making systems that can achieve narrowly-defined tasks is EXACTLY
what the AI field has been doing for the last couple decades.
Unsurprisingly, they have had some modest success at making systems that can
achieve narrowly-defined tasks, and no success at moving toward artificial
general intelligence.
