No, that's moving the goalpost. From the very start the goal of artificial intelligence has been to make a machine that can think like a human. Who would want an artificial cat mind? What use would it be and why would someone go to the effort of creating one when natural cat minds are abundant?

I used a cat just as an example of an animal that exhibits intelligence but is different than humans.

AGI was never about exactly replicating humans, it's about creating artificial intelligence. Intelligence is not one-size-fits-all, there are many ways of being intelligent and the human way just one among many.

Indeed we can say that even between humans, intelligence varies deeply. Some humans are more capable in some areas than others, and no human can do all tasks. I think it's unreasonable to expect AGI to do all tasks and only then recognize its intelligence.

(Note: GPT-4 isn't AGI)

Possibly, someone who is allergic to cats.

I think there is a market for cat simulation games. There is alteady a market for goat, pokemon and pet simulation games.
