This seems based around limited views of what sort of AI minds are possible or likely, such as an anthropomorphized baby which can be taught and studied similar to human children.

The key difference between AI and other software is learning, and even current narrow AI systems require large learning/training times and these systems are only learning specific narrow functionalities.

Considering this, many (perhaps most?) AGI researchers believe that any practical human-level AGI will require an educational process much like human children do.
