Personally, I think we are going to hit a hard stop on our current path to AGI. We are looking at intelligence from the top level hoping to somehow duplicate it. What we are getting is a dumb mimic with zero intelligence. We need to start at the bottom and build our way up. So, pick a low intelligence animal and figure out how they perceive the world and survive in the world. Trying to mimic intelligence won't get us to AGI.
We can try to "teach" an AI system survival instinct, but then it'll most likely iterate/evolve into something that wipes us out. I just don't see them living in symbiosis with us.
