The real big deal is: how would a non-human brain/robot *think* differently?
It's easy to envisage radically different substrates.
Here,for example, is a pure sci-fi form of radically different thinking.
Imagine a creation that could not just entertain images of things, but could
physically become them - morph into them, like, as I understand, The Thing
in the movie - something that could really put itself into other people's
skins. OK that's totally wild, but maybe it'll open the way to more
realistic possibilities.

of human intelligence. Nothing wrong with that. It's just that AGI-ers
often *talk* as if
they are developing, or could develop, a truly non-human intelligence - a
brain that
could think in *fundamentally* different ways from humans.
I think it's an issue of substrate. An AGI built on human-like
cognitive principles -- even a total procedurally-accurate
reimplementation of a human mind -- running on an electronic rather
than organic platform would be a very different kind of intelligence
indeed.
