Yes, or rather I realize that in the sense that I do remember seeing you write that somewhere, but I'm not sure whether I had it sufficiently in mind during my replies. If you see anything suggesting that I didn't have it in mind such that it invalidated what I said as irrelevant to your position, let me know.
I should mention though that it may be epistemically unsanitary to use the term "god" (or "God)" when you really mean AIs, considering how long and winding the history of such theistic terminology has been. If your goal is clear communication, I would suggest switching to a term with less baggage.
Even though I did know that's what you meant in the sense that I saw you define it earlier, I might easily have fallen into pattern-matching and ended up largely criticizing a position irrelevant to yours.
Your goal seems to be to identify as a theist though, so using the term "God" (and the other standard theistic terminology) may be necessary for that purpose, in which case you may either (1) want to make sure to take extra care to compensate for the historical baggage and ambiguity, or (2) simply forget you ever read this comment.
I actually go out of my way to equate "god" and "AGI"/"superintelligence", because to a large extent they seem like the same thing to me.

It's not that I want to identify as a theist, so much as that I want to point out that I think that the only reason people think that gods/angels/demons and AGIs/superintelligences/transhuman-intelligences are different things is because they're compartmentalizing. I think Aquinas and I believe in the same God, even if we think about Him...
Are there any essays anywhere that go in depth about scenarios where AIs become somewhat recursive/general in that they can write functioning code to solve diverse problems, but the AI reflection problem remains unsolved and thus limits the depth of recursion attainable by the AIs? Let's provisionally call such general but reflection-limited AIs semi-general AIs, or SGAIs. SGAIs might be of roughly smart-animal-level intelligence, e.g. have rudimentary communication/negotiation abilities and some level of ability to formulate narrowish plans of the sort that don't leave them susceptible to Pascalian self-destruction or wireheading or the like.
At first blush, this scenario strikes me as Bad; AIs could take over all computers connected to the internet, totally messing stuff up as their goals/subgoals mutate and adapt to circumvent wireheading selection pressures, without being able to reach general intelligence. AIs might or might not cooperate with humans in such a scenario. I imagine any detailed existing literature on this subject would focus on computer security and intelligent computer "viruses"; does such literature exist, anywhere?
I have various questions about this scenario, including:
