I don't think the bar has ever moved. The following is how AGI was defined on Wikipedia in 2013:

> a hypothetical artificial intelligence that matches or exceeds human intelligence — the intelligence of a machine that could successfully perform any intellectual task that a human being can.

Have we achieved this? I don't think so.

Rather, many people nowadays seem to imagine AGI as "a machine that can perform any intellectual task that most human beings can", which is actually a significantly lower bar - if the AI fails at something that a human can do, you must merely establish that some humans would also fail at it, and then the AI still qualifies as AGI by that definition.
