We've had AGI since RNG! Cut the poor, unacknowledged RNG AGI some slack, will ya? It can literally solve everything when you're patient enough.
replyThere's so much that the term includes that isn't even feasible with an LLM
replyArtificial. General. Intelligence. The ability to solve (even partially or even badly solve) problems drawn from arbitrary problem domains without pretraining on the specific problem class. You can pose any problem of any type using natural language to an LLM and it will attempt a solution. That's literally all the term means.
replyYou (and the rest of the media and many industry figures) are conflating artificial super-intelligence (reference point: humans) with artificial general intelligence (reference point: specialized/narrow GOFAI).

replySo now humans is "super" intelligence? it's nice to move the upper bar so that more stuff can be called "just" intelligence.
Reference class in this case means not an example but what the comparison is against. Superhuman means better than humans. General intelligence is defined without any reference to human capability levels.
replyHow can somebody define intelligence without a reference to human capability? Humans are the one judging it.
replygeneral intelligence for beavers or a birch forest would be very different than general intelligence for humans...
Intelligence is problem solving. It can be defined in terms of optimization theory.
replyWhich is also a uniquely human take...
replyI don't think we'll be able to meet, and that's ok since the definition isn't universal. I align more with Demis Hasabis' views on this
replyVery valid point, shame it’s buried so deep in the comments’ tree.
