I agree that humans satisfying the conditions of claim 1 is an argument in favour of it being possible to build machines that do the same. A couple of points: I think the threat model would posit the core of general intelligence as the reason both why humans can do these things and why the first AGI we build might also do these things. Claim 1 should perhaps be more clear that it’s not just saying such an AI design is possible, but that it’s likely to be found and built.
No, Humans do not satisfy this assumptions adopted here, unless you make this more specific.
The definition of Generalize is given above as: “Generalizes, i.e., performs well in new domains, which were not optimized for during training, with no domain-specific tuning”.
Whether you think humans do this depends on what you take for “new domains” and “perform well”.
Humans taught to crawl on hardwood floors can crawl on carpeted floors. Humans taught to hunt fly larva will need further training to hunt big game.
Don’t humans provide an existence proof of this? The point about there being a ‘core’ of general intelligence seems unnecessary.
