Did you make sure you agreed on what was meant by "AGI"?

I ask because ever since InstructGPT I've been noticing that people not only don't agree on any letter of that initialism, but also sometimes mean by it something not present in any letter.

So for me, even InstructGPT counts as a general purpose AI; for OpenAI, it's not what they mean by AGI (they require it to be economically significant); and it definitely isn't superhuman (which some people need, I'd call that ASI not merely AGI); and we still can't agree on what consciousness is let alone what it would take for an AI to have it, but some people include that in their definition of AGI and I never have.

I don't think we will agree on a definition of AGI, nor should we. To me this is settled by freedom of religion being a universal human right.

This is why the AGI in X years is such an interesting perspective.

(And why I'm deeply concerned about my downvoters.)

Treating AGI as gods is another example, yes, though I'd forgotten that one. Same direction as ASI but moreso.

People have been putting up signs on lamp posts saying "Jesus is coming" all my life.

I'll just leave it at that.
