Lots of interesting points.

I definitely think the line of argumentation that even humans aren't a general intelligence is an unhelpful one that's also just wrong on an intuitive level.

Though what's becoming clear to me is that the effect that being part of a multi-agent system has on a single agents ability to generalize is enormous and likely to be quite important when thinking about AGI too.

Also what's becoming clear is that the possible state space of what might constitute something that could be called AGI is likely enormous.

I'm mostly interested in it from X-risk perspective of what properties of an AGI system are necessary and sufficient to pose existential risk and what are the visible thresholds you would need to cross on the path to such a system coming into existence?
