Debating AGI? Two tasks prove current systems are far from human-level intelligence

The author argues against the idea that current systems are AGI using two specific tasks:
- Manga Creation: Recreating a new chapter of One Piece indistinguishable from the original. Current AI fails completely; humans can easily tell the difference.
- Game Design: Creating a new League of Legends champion with art, concept, models, balance, and audio that fits seamlessly. Humans do this regularly; AI achieves 0%.
The author points out that even a human with infinite focus could do this. Current systems are merely good interpolators, making it baffling why figures like Elon Musk or Sam Altman would doubt the gap remaining.
