You claim to not be talking about AGI and then you immediately go on talking about Data from Star Trek as your example of a nonhuman intelligence. Clearly Data is AGI.
Nothing we have is anywhere near Data. It doesn’t even have the potential to resemble the smallest aspects of Data.
Personally I have never seen an AI that even gets close to intelligence. A baby cat is infinitely more intelligent. I have no problem with accepting nonhuman intelligence that’s not the issue here.
You need reasoning on novel problems to be intelligent not just rewording text from the internet.
I know everyone says it but why would it be okay to not wash your pants just because they’re jeans? All pants get dirty the same amount regardless of material.
I wash mine regularly and don’t notice any change after washing but maybe I don’t buy “nice” jeans
