Isn't it immediately obvious that solving something that humans have been unable to do for decades or more is the most tangible proof of ASI, or at the very least pretty good AGI?

Is this something humans have been unable to do?

There’s only so many people with the necessary skills to solve this. And you need these humans to choose to spend their time solving this, and not something else.

It's a famous open problem so yeah

Sure, but that doesn't mean a lot of very skilled people hadn't attempted and failed to solve this.

And you’ve known about this problem for how many minutes?
Long enough to know this has been on the Wikipedia page of open math problems for several years.
