I really doubt an AI-like hack even looks like one, if you don't arrive on it by way of maths.

I am saying it is statistically unlikely to get GAI without maths, and a thermodynamic miracle to get FAI without math. However, my personal intuits are the GAI isn't as hard as, say, some of the other intractable problems we know of, like P =? NP, the Reimann Hypothesis, and other famous problems.
