Well, no person is immune to propaganda and stupididty, so I don't see it as a huge issue.

I have no idea how you believe this relates to the comment you replied to.

If I'm understanding correctly, they are arguing that the paper only requires that an intelligent system will fail for some inputs and suggest that things like propaganda are inputs for which the human intelligent system fails. Therefore, they are suggesting that the human intelligent system does not necessarily refute the paper's argument.

If so, then the papers argument isn't actually trying to prove that AGI is impossible, despite the title, and the entire discussion is pointless.

But what then is the relevance of the study?

I suppose it disproves embodied, fully meat-space god if sound?

I'm looking at the title again and it seems wrong, because AGI ~ human intelligence. Unless human intelligence has non physical components to it.
