I am not liking the term "AGI". I think intelligence and understanding are very different things and they are both required to build a useful tool that we can trust.

To use an image that might be familiar to lots of people reading this, the Sheldon character in Big Bang Theory is very intelligent about lots of fields of study and yet lacks tons of understanding about many things, particularly social interaction, the human impact of decisions, etc. Intelligence alone (AGI) isn't the solution we should be after. Nice buzz word, but not the solution we need. This should not be the objective at the top of the hill.

I've always distinguished knowledge, intelligence, and wisdom. Knowledge is knowing a chair is a seat. Intelligence is being able to use a log as a chair. Wisdom is knowing the log chair will be more comfortable if I turn it around and that sometimes it's more comfortable to sit on the ground and use the log as fuel for the fire.

But I'm not going to say I was the first to distinguish those word. That'd be silly. They're 3 different words and we use them differently. We all know Sheldon is smart but he isn't very wise.

As for AGI, I'm not so sure my issue is with the label but more with the insistence that it is so easy and straight forward to understand. It isn't very wise to think the answer is trivial to a question which people have pondered for millennia. That just seems egotistical. Especially when thinking your answer is so obviously correct that you needn't bother trying to see if they were wrong. Even though Don Quixote didn't test his armor a second time, he had the foresight to test it once.
