Have you seen memento? Humans can be intelligent while losing the ability to learn and form new memories. See here: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23221-anterog...

It is categorically wrong that non static learning is a requirement of agi. The biggest problem we face is hallucinations and this isn’t caused by the fact that agi can’t learn on the fly.

Doesn't Memento prove the opposite? The character was basically stuck in a loop, and was taken advantage of by someone who held the real agency. (Notwithstanding the "happy ending" conceit at the end that resolves the audience's uncomfortableness with this lack of agency by intimating he may still possess some minimal agency despite the big reveal.)

But in any event, drawing conclusions about the real world from a fictional story seems fraught.

		Leonard was still an intelligent entity despite lacking the ability to learn. In fact the amount of limited agency Leonard had is similar to the limits in agency we want for an agi that serves humanity. Anyway my main point is Leonard has intelligence well past what we expect from an agi. So because people like Leonard are documented to actually exist one can say live learning is not really needed to have Leonard levels ( aka agi levels) of intelligence

I take it that you are referring to the movie Memento? I had not heard of it, but I'll put it on my watch list.

I take your point about the non-necessity of dynamic learning for AGI.
