Because how could a piece of code that can do that, not already be AGI? It would have to be able to understand EVERYTHING, and do so PERFECTLY.

Only AGI could comprehend and filter input data that well. Nothing less would be enough. How could it be?

No it just needs to categorise into important / probably true and not important / probably nonsense, as a first step

Here are Johnny harris’s words describing what I am talking about (he describes it in order to able to talk about lies better)

Right...

As if critical thinking is super easy, basic stuff, that humans get right every time without even trying. You actually think getting a computer to do it would be easier than making the AGI?

You are VERY confused about how thinking works.

You don’t need AGI to categorise new info as probably true / probably wrong based on your base knowledge. This a simple machine learning task.
