this is a glib version of exactly what i agree with. a human doesn't do the maximal efficiency with the inputs its given, but has a high number of varied inputs that allow the multi part of multi-modal to really shine. We're not a true general intelligence because we can't respond to problems in space or time that are too big or too small for us, outside of the right frame of reference or outside the right frequency of visible light for us to respond to. Also, the amount of processing power we can respond with is capped as well. So when we say AGI, we mean a computer that responds to the same set of stimuli as we do, with a repsonse somewhere in the region we can respond back to. I don't see why a robot with AGI would care about sunburn if their robot arms don't care about heat, and i don't see that as any less general as if us and a matis shrimp are talking about different frequencies of photons we can see
