What software can learn on its own without any assistance from a huamn? I've not heard of anything like this.

> Replicate? Trival. But what does that have to do with AGI?

Like humans, an AGI should be able to replicate. Similar to a von neumann probe.

> Solve Problems Humans Cannot. Check.

What unthinkable problem has an AI solved? Is something capable of solving something so grandiose we almost can't even define the problem yet?

Everyone talking about AGI is talking about something that we haven't figured out to build yet.

Think back to the 1930's when some physicists were mumbling something about "throwing a neutron at an atom that releases two neutrons and release tremendous energy"
