gleech · x · 2026-09-29
Replying to @tilmanbayer, gleech argues that pre-2024 uses of the term "AGI" have been shown to be fatally ambiguous. He highlights two senses among many: (1) Potentially General AI — not an AGI yet, but at this point only resources prevent it from becoming one; (2) a drop-in remote worker for all knowledge work. His point: debates over AGI often fail because the term itself conflates distinct claims.
