> That does seem awfully specific though

It's one of a large set of attributes you would expect in something called "AGI."

Then I don't get the distinction between AGI and superintelligence. Is there one?

I agree with /u/AnimalMuppet, FWIW. As long as I've been doing this stuff (and I've been doing it for quite some time) AGI has been interpreted (somewhat loosely) as something like "Intelligence equivalent to an average human adult" or just "human level intelligence". But as /u/AnimalMuppet points out, there's quite a bit of variance to human intelligence, and nobody ever really specified in detail exactly which "human intelligence" AGI was meant to correspond to.

SuperIntelligence (or ASI), OTOH, has - so far as I can recall - always been even more loosely specified, and translates roughly to "an intelligence beyond any human intelligence".

Another term you might hear, although not as frequently, is "Universal Artificial Intelligence". This comes mostly from the work of Marcus Hutter[1] and means something approximately like "an intelligence that can solve any problem that can, in principle, be solved".

AGI is human-level. (What human level is a question. High school? College graduate? PhD? Terrence Tao?)

Superintelligence is smarter than Terrence Tao, or any other human.
