I agree completely!

I want an intelligence that I can give instructions such as "figure out a
minimum cost way to build a { rocket ship to mars / whole body disease
scanner / nanofabricator / ... }".  This device would have to design
factories, parts, arrange shipments, assign tasks to humans and robots,
etc.  For a wide enough set of inputs and object specification methods, we'd
probably call it an AGI.


Yep, that's the one I'm after. Of course, other people may have different
end goals - but it's not productive to argue which is the truer definition
of intelligence, whereas it might be productive to argue which is the more
achievable goal.
