Mark Gubrud, who coined the term AGI, says we've achieved it under his definition: current models perform at roughly high-human level in language and general knowledge while working thousands of times faster, with major deficiencies falling fast.
Quoter applesjimmy argues that debating personal AGI definitions is pointless — it's a spectrum — and the real question is where we sit on the recursive self-improvement spectrum and the future pace.
