I think we're getting to the point where it is difficult to identify the goal post of AGI.
Is it rapid skill acquisition? -> ARC benchmarks are saturated Is it breadth of knowledge? -> See many ... many benchmarks Is it ability to do hard tasks? -> see terminal-bench and released outputs.
We are at the point where the starting point for most tasks should be "send your agent to work on it."
So where do we draw the line in a way that doesn't move every 6 months?
The real answer is converting from any format to any other reliably. Text to speech, speech to text, music to video, image to 3D, piloting a drone by converting video feed to rotor speeds, literally any file conversion, like html to pdf, photoshop project to png, png to photoshop project,... turning Toy Story 1 into a series of Blender scenes with all textures, models, materials, lighting, camera movements matched to a tee, should solely be a matter of how long you let the model run. It should never run itself into a dead end. It should instantly know when it is making mistakes, with no human babysitting it.
I can do none of those things.. I hope that I am generally intelligent.
1 year ago we viewed models as tools and agents were just kinda toying around, that we now think the bar is literally an anything to anything converter through one agent is wild.
