We already got AGI a while ago — goal-post shifting masked it, argues Reddit post
Insane_Artist · reddit · 2026-09-09
A Reddit post argues that by the classic definition—matching median human performance at most tasks—AGI arrived a while ago; LLMs already outperform most people. The perceived gap comes from moving goalposts: expecting AGI to instantly spark technological revolution or recursive self-improvement was never warranted, since the median human can't program or invent. Frontier math performance signals superintelligence is what's forming next, not AGI.
