Surely the incentive to build an AGI is so great that additional incentives are somewhat meaningless?
Is your grandma working on AGI? After all, the incentive is limitless?
BTW, I did not say they are working on AGI; that is not their business plan. They want to "organize all the worlds information", and the statistical approximations to doing this are failing due to the spammers, per the OP. They are forced to go closer to really understanding the content with computers, and some of the problems involved have been deemed "AGI-hard". So they are gradually more incentivized to work on AGI related technologies.
I think the majority of people don't evaluate AGI incentives rationally, especially failing to fully see the possibilities of it. Whereas this is an easy to imagine benefit.
