I agree AI minds might be very different, and best described with different measures. But I think we currently have little clue what those differences are, and so for now humans remain the main source of evidence we have about agents. Certainly human-applicability isn’t a necessary condition for measures of AI agency; it just seems useful as a sanity check to me, given the context that nearly all of our evidence about (non-trivial) agents so far comes from humans.
