It seems clear that autonomous systems which can apply their computational machinery to a diverse range of problems, and can, in a diverse range of settings, formulate instrumental goals as part of a plan to attain a final goal, do exist.
Because that's what humans are, at least some of the time.
edit: In terms of Turing-completeness analogues, the best candidate for AGI I think would be simply brute force capability: can this agent try all possible solutions until it solves this problem? (obviously using a heuristic to prioritize) -- that is, it'd employ a form of Universal Search[1] (aka Levin Search). Humans don't necessarily pass this test rigorously because we'd always get bored with a problem and because we have finite memory. But then CPUs are not truly Turing complete either (it's "just" a good model).
