Why would you assume that AGI is even a useful goal?
AGI is pretty much either A) a religious hallucination or B) kind of worthless.
We already have general intelligences - they're called humans. Improving those via genetic engineering holds far more promise than machine learning does for generating a better intelligence.

The goal of automated systems is not to create intelligence but efficiency. You don't want your art AI to be smart, you want it to do what it is told.
