But what if a general AI could generate specialized narrow AIs? That is something the human brain cannot do but an AGI could. Thus speed of general AI = speed of AI narrow + time to specialize.

How is it different than a general AI solving the problems by itself?

It isn't. At least not in my model of what an AI is. But Mark_Friedenbach seems to operate under a model where this is less clear or the consequences of the capability of an AI creating these kind of specialized sub agents seem not to be taken into account enough.
