AGI
If AGI doesn't include insanity as well as intelligence then it may be artificial, but it won't be general.
In "Gödel, Escher, Bach" Hofstadter wrote:
It is an inherent property of intelligence that it can jump out of the task which it is performing, and survey what it is done; it is always looking for, and often finding, patterns.1
Over 400 pages later, he repeats this idea:
This drive to jump out of the system is a pervasive one, and lies behind all progress and art, music, and other human endeavors. It also lies behind such trivial undertakings as the making of radio and television commercials.2
For intelligence to be general, the ability to jump must be in all directions.

This idea is repeated in this post from almost 13 years ago. Have I stopped jumping outside the lines?
