Reddit debate: CEOs have cheapened 'AGI', and Jensen Huang plays along
Neurogence · reddit · 2026-09-08
A Reddit thread amplifies @junsong's take that AGI was supposed to mean Einstein-level intellect curing diseases, not AI fiddling in Blender or booking haircuts. The author argues Jensen Huang must play along with AGI marketing since NVIDIA sells hardware to every AI lab, and cites Demis Hassabis warning that CEOs like Sam Altman have cheapened the term and one will soon declare AGI. The thread captures widespread frustration over AGI definition inflation.
