    > you can get more done in an hour than a normal person can get done in a day.

    Motion, not progress. So much talk of 100x and 1000x engineers, so little to show for it.

    There's no good definition. To some people it literally means "artificial general intelligence". If you agree that toddlers and dogs have general intelligence at a low level (and most do), that low bar has been met IMO.

    Some people think it means "better than human intelligence in every way". We'll be able to find niches that humans are better at for a very long time, so that definition hasn't been met, but is getting increasingly pedantic.

    Some people think it means "smart enough to improve itself independently, thus triggering the singularity". The frontier labs are using AI to help improve itself, but it's not working independently, yet, AFAICT. So that definition isn't met yet.

    A baby can identify most apples in the real world, after showing him just several pictures of them. And that's just the tip of general intelligence.

    So why do humans keep trying to make a better LLM when the LLM is generally intelligent and should be able to make its own smarter LLM?

    Faster autocomplete doesn't make an AGI. We don't redefine the airplane just because high-speed rail is fast enough for 90% of commuters.

    I disagree with the first paragraph, agree with the second, and am not very hopeful about the third.

    Lowest effort troll post I think I’ve ever seen boosted to the front page on HN.

    I’m sure we top it soon though.

    Happy to hear but I got to go because my forza download has just completed

    LOL.

    On a more serious note: I don't think so.

    I'm happily using the clanker all day every day, but that dumb piece of shit is definitely not an AGI.
