I agree that general, open ended problem solving is a necessary condition for General intelligence. However I differ in that I believe that such open ended problem solving can be demonstrated via current chat interfaces involving asking questions with text and images.

It’s hard for people to define AGI because Earth only has one generally intelligent family: Homo. So there is a tendency to identify Human intelligence or capabilities with General intelligence.

Imagine if dolphins were much more intelligent and could write research-level mathematics papers on par with humans, communicating with clicks. Even though dolphins can’t play the cello or do origami, lacking the requisite digits, UCLA still has a dolphin tank to house some of their mathematics professors, who work hand-in-flipper with their human counterparts. That’s General intelligence.

Artificial General Intelligence is the same but with a computer instead of a dolphin.
