You're calling an Apple an Orange and complaining that everyone else wont refer to it as such. AGI is a computer program that can understand or learn any task a human can, mimicking the cognitive ability of a human.

It doesn't have to actually "think" as long as it can present an indistinguishable facsimile, but if you have to rebuild its training set for each task, that does not qualify. We don't reset human brains from scratch to pick up new skills.

I'm calling a very small orange an orange and people are saying it isn't a real orange because it should be bigger so I show them a bigger orange and they say not big enough. And that continues forever.
