They need a new acronym: AGI -> ASI -> Artificial Mega Intelligence AMI? Maybe go back to AGI but make it mean Artificial Godlike Intelligence?

It's too bad Altman already blew his wad with the whole Dyson sphere thing. It's hard to top that. Maybe he can promise them a paperclip universe? That's gotta be worth a few more trillion.

If some spread the idea that Artificial General Intelligence were achieved, their voice is moot anyway.

Ever since the 1960's we've had AIs that beat aspects of human intelligence. These days AIs are "godlike intelligence" at boardgames, visual recognition, programming (know any programmer, no matter how good, that can get a fluid dynamics simulation from scratch in 2 minutes?), reading comprehension, understanding humans (both speed and accuracy), ... and so on and so forth), and every few years something gets added to the list (I particularly enjoyed robotic ping pong. And it's "not really" AI (kind of, convnets certainly work best, but yes you can code it by hand if you control the environment). But you're not winning even a single ping pong game, it's just not happening)

Every time people find something they're still superior at and declare whatever that is the most important thing in the universe.

Perhaps a more useful definition of AGI would be an intelligence good enough that it can go from raw materials to a working AI at least as good as itself ...

I think a good test of AGI is whether it can produce a better version of itself or provide the instructions for someone to improve it.

		My take would be more general: a "simulated, emergent intelligence" cannot be considered AGI - which must be instead structurally intelligent. As if we took an interpretation of the Turing test, not as "sounds intelligent (could be confused with intelligent)", but as "we assess it as intelligent".
