I guess the challenge here is that the human mind is not a blank slate, and has been optimized first by billions of years of evolution.

If it takes all the data on the internet (or more) to bootstrap AGI, but that system is then capable of leveraging its knowledge to solve new out-of-distribution tasks, that seems like a fair test to me.

I agree with the article that we see "sparks" of this generality with GPT4.
