Defining AGI: should it require replacing median humans in 50%+ of white-collar tasks?
ChrisGPT · x · 2026-09-23
In a discussion with @sholtodouglas and @logangraham, ChrisGPT proposes an AGI definition mixing DeepMind's and OpenAI's: don't use the term until AI can fully replace the median human in over 50% of the most economically valuable white-collar tasks — adding the overlooked dimensions of efficiency and long-term reliability, since one-off task competence is easy but sustained reliability is not.
