I'll believe in AGI when OpenAI stops paying human developers.

I don’t see how this follows. Does AGI mean that it is free to operate and has no hardware / power constraints?

The fact that I see people being paid to dig a trench does not make me doubt the existence of trenching machines. It just means that the tool is not always the best choice for every job.

It is that and an autonomous system that can generate $100BN dollars in profits. (OpenAI and Microsoft's definition of AGI)

So maybe when we see a commercial airplane with no human pilots on board but an LLM piloting the plane with no intervention needed?

Would you board such a plane?

Extreme rhetoric weakens arguments. Would you let Albert Einstein perform open heart surgery on you? AHA! Maybe he wasn’t that smart.

AGI???? Again, once again, over again, yet again, one more time:

(1) Given triangle ABC, by means of Euclidean construction find point D on line AB and point E on line BC so that the lengths |AD| = |DE| = |EC.

(2) Given triangle ABC, by means of Euclidean construction inscribe a square so that each corner of the square is on a side of the triangle.

Come ON AGI, let's have some RESULTS that human general intelligence can do -- gee, I solved (1) in the 10th grade.
