I think its fair to blame the AI labs for constantly hyping up the intelligence in a consiousness-related way where the model becomes "just like a human". Of course that is bs in terms that we have no clue on consiousness of the underlying models or even if its possible to do so.

But a purist defintion of AGI does not require consiousness as a part of it but can be seen as a benchmark metric. Sam Altman recently said the term doesn't really matter. And its true, even if AGI is achieved in the sense that a model can excel at all tasks at par or better than a human, then it is very useful but not as scary as a living, self-serving AI system like Skynet.

Yet AGI in the form discussed above will still grant massive power to AI labs if its injected into all domains. I recently wrote on this a bit on my blog: https://decodingvibes.com/blog/ai-can-ride-my-bike-with-no-h...
