Think about what would be required to make AGI possible by comparing it to other forms of "collective" intelligence like corporations and factories. Corporations and factories require that people subjugate themselves to an external arbiter in order to accomplish some task that benefits everyone in the organization in some way. So people work for corporations in exchange for money because they think it's a pretty good deal.

AGI would be another kind of collective intelligence wherein people would subjugate themselves to some rules and regulations in order to benefit themselves. So it would literally be a religion wherein its members were worshiping mathematical rules.

This is obviously not AGI and never will be because it is absurd to think that computers in data centers could ever be aligned with human values. Some human values are obviously garbage like nationalism and patriotism but others are not and there is no mathematical formula for community, honor, virtue. Those concepts are much too abstract to be encoded as mathematical formulas.

In short, the people that think AGI is possible are basically religious zealots wherein they believe mathematical formulas can achieve abundance and prosperity.
