I agree. There is no define or agreed upon consensus of what AGI even means or implies. Instead, we will continue to see incremental improvements at the sort of things AI is good at, like text and image generation, generating code, etc. The utopia dream of AI solving all of humanity's problems as people just chill on a beach basking in infinite prosperity are unfounded.

Agreed, however defining ¬AGI seems much more straightforward to me. The current crop of LLMs, impressive though they may be, are just not human level intelligent. You recognize this as soon as you spend a significant amount of time using one.
It may also be that they are converging on a type of intelligence that is fundamentally not the same as human intelligence. I’m open to that.
