Defining AGI: Requires Infinite Memory and Plastic Architecture
Rony_69_chill · reddit · 2026-08-28
Reacting to predictions of AGI by 2026, the author proposes a strict definition requiring AI to perform all general human tasks faster and cheaper.
Core Criteria:
- Infinite Memory & In-context Learning: No catastrophic forgetting; ability to retain specific context for weeks or months.
- Plastic Architecture: Capacity to "learn how to learn" to sustain long workflows and make independent decisions.
- Superhuman Performance: Mastery of complex software workflows (Unreal Engine, Blender, Photoshop) over long sessions without memory loss.
