Curiously - Are Humans are AGI benchmark? Or is there more upper room at AGI+ level intelligence? I just think that we're on a continuum from virus to Humans, Chimps being significantly lower on the intelligence scale compared to Humans. There is nothing that says continuum stops at Humans. So, I am curious if AGI is defined as something profound (Turing complete, beats humans at every imaginable task by a large margin or mathematically max intelligence?) or just someone who can converse in a Turing test with humans without giving it away or drive as good as humans.

I don't think humans are the AGI benchmark, but smart mammals probably are.
What I think an AGI needs to have is the _ability to learn_. To me, that's what intelligence really is. For many people, it's having a lot of knowledge. However, that is merely lack of ignorance.
The reason that the ability to learn is important for AGI is because the true thing we miss with self-driving cars is _adaptability_. When roads change, humans adapt. But a self-driving car does not, unless a human interferes and tells it, "You learned about cones today."
