+1 for “what that even means”.

I keep seeing people say “AGI” but no one will define it for me. It’s always “you know it when you see it” or “when software can do anything”.

I’m alright with “things will continue to advance” but people assume it’s a single event that happens, not a goal post that represents “the dream” that moves 1 step further away every 1 step we advance.

Just shouting random platitudes and religious grandiosity at people is just annoying.

This is a good write-up below, but why not just say AGI is something that is indistinguishable from a human? That definition seems to work.

Because we'll never have something indistinguishable from human. Once AI is as good as a human at everything, it'll also be far better than human at something. Possibly most things.

The human mind is arguably proof that AGI is possible.

No, it’s proof that human intelligence is possible. Since we don’t know how that works either we can’t really draw any conclusions about the viability of replicating it artificially (if that’s the definitions of AGI).
