Even if it performs just better than untrained human but on any task this will be superhuman level. As no human can do it.

The G in AGI stands for "general", not for "superhuman". An intelligence that can't learn to perform information processing and decision-making tasks people routinely do does not seem very general to me.

Here is the big question: should it be equal or better then every single person? If we assume that every healthy person is 'generally intelligent' then probably this is a benchmark. Because not every person can do the tasks that other persons do routinely. Probably we shouldn't demand it from AGI either. At least not from a single model. But it makes sense to request that specialized model can be created (or trained, fine tuned) for every task humans can do.
