FWIW OpenAI themselves give a reasonably specific definition of AGI in their Charter [1]:

highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work

But I guess the "as we have traditionally understood it" bit from Sam's phrasing may imply that in fact he means something other than OpenAI's own definition?

The circularity is an issue: as machines do work, it becomes less valuable.

Highly autonomous systems already outperform humans for the vast majority of the economically valuable work of the 1400s economy.
