A blog post tries to pin down what counts as AGI
The quoted article says it is meant to give a brief picture of what the author means by “AGI.” The writer expects that many readers will find it obvious, and many others will think it is wrong, but hopes it will surface real disagreements about the term.
The attached image highlights a broader argument: building an AI system that can do a task often requires years of R&D, whereas humans can usually be trained to do the same task without redesigning the species. That contrast is used to motivate a future AGI design that can learn skills more efficiently.
