I think the key word in that quote is "any" intellectual task. I don't think we are far from solving all of the mobility and vision-related tasks.

I am more concerned though if the definition includes things like philosophy and emotion. These things can be quantified, like for example with AI that plays poker and can calculate the aggressiveness (range of potential hands) of the humans at the table rather than just the pure isolated strength of their hand. But it seems like a very hard thing to generally quantify, and as a result a hard thing to measure and program for.

It sounds like different people will just have different definitions of AGI, which is different from "can this thing do the task i need it to do (for profit, for fun, etc)"




I think you're on to something very practical here.

Chat GPT allows for conversation that is pretty remarquable today. It hasn't learned the way us humans have - so what?

I think a few more iterations may lead to something very, very useful to us humans. Most humans may just as well say Chat GPT version X is Artificial, and Generelly Intelligent.


Totally agree. Better to evaluate something by its array of capabilities, rather than if it fits a label that has a murky definition :)
