Part 10/11:
The fundamental takeaway is that meaningful progress toward AGI requires testing frameworks based on a nuanced understanding of neuroscience, cognition, and human intelligence. Books by Jeff Hawkins ("A Thousand Brains"), David Bader ("On Task"), and others emphasize the importance of structural similarity to biological brains, hierarchical abstraction, and the central role of signal filtering.
In short, the ARK AGI test, as proposed, is a pseudo-measurement rooted in narrow pattern recognition, ill-suited for capturing the multifaceted nature of intelligence. Genuine progress relies on studying real intelligence—human, animal, or otherwise—and designing tests that reflect the complexity, robustness, and universality of natural cognition.
