Redditor's AGI bar: an AI that can co-op Minecraft and watch movies with you

A Reddit user argues current AI is better described as "Artificial Alien Intelligence"—smart in unprecedented ways but not yet general. His AGI bar: real-time human collaboration, e.g., launching Minecraft and building half a house together, handling mods, or watching and discussing a movie—estimating one to two years away. Step two is continual learning and adaptation. He also argues AGI will likely arrive as ASI directly, since superior memory, no need for sleep, and controllable focus are already superhuman traits. Ultimately, AGI means personhood: acting like a person in your life, which is far from today's reality.
