What is your definition for AGI that isn't already met? Computers have already been superior to average humans in a variety of fields since the 90s. If we consider intelligence as the ability to acquire knowledge, then any "AGI" will be "ASI" in short order, therefore I make no distinction between the two.

AGI must be comparable to humans' capabilities in most fields. That includes things like

• driving (at human level safety)

• folding clothes with two robotic hands

• write mostly correct code at large scale (not just leetcode problems), fix bugs after testing

• ability to reason beyond simple riddles

• perform simple surgeries unassisted

• look at a recipe and cook a meal

• most importantly, ability to learn new skills at average human level. Ability to figure out what it needs to learn to solve a given problem, watch some tutorials, and learn from that.
