I feel like if you showed current frontier models to someone 10 years ago, they'd probably call it AGI. Does AGI have a clear definition or is it just a pair of goalposts on wheels?

They would until you showed them the jagged edges.

Like those short videos of the guy asking the model to count up to 100, for example, where it politely agrees but never actually gets there

  • So does AGI just mean infallible?

    • Currently it either means “better than the median human at every task including things like counting to 1000 or folding clothes” or it means “for each task, better than the top-n human at that task”.

      It’s clearly not actually that “generalized” yet because it’s unable to do a number of very simple things that almost any 6-year old could do, such as count to 100 without using any tools.

      It’s still a very specific type of intelligence, with some real breadth to it, but not general intelligence.
