The wikipedia definition is:

> ...a hypothetical type of artificial intelligence that matches or surpasses human capabilities across virtually all cognitive tasks.

You can argue that paperclip maximising is an inevitable consequence of that (and the huggingface breach is interesting from that point of view) but it's not fundamental to the definition.

The question then is what "surpasses human capabilities" means and we're there in some niches but not all, and not across many models.
