ChatGPT and Claude Both Failed to Turn Off a Logitech Mouse Light: Not AGI Yet
koltregaskes · x · 2026-09-07
The author asked ChatGPT and Claude to turn off the light on his Logitech G502 mouse — both failed, and he had to do it himself. He uses this as a rebuttal to the 'we're in the AGI era' narrative, arguing we're still in a 'jagged knowledge era' where models excel at some tasks and fail at trivial ones, and that AGI means different things to different people.
