I might agree. Except that its "general purpose" is actually "pattern
matching for survival".
I don't know of any other computational device that creates other
computational devices without outside assistance. That seems like a
pretty powerful device to me.
And it has some absolutely spectacular failure modes: superstition,
schizophrenia, paranoia, depression, etc.
And it has almost no debugging facilities.
Except science. But that's another discussion. ;-)

It's not feature creep if you put it
at the end and adjust the release date.
