OpenAI is releasing legitimate AGI, google puts out a weather prediction model lol.

You assuming OpenAI's models are AGI tells more about you than anything else.

If Alan Turing says ChatGPT is an AGI, it's good enough for me.

The Turing test is there only to test a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour, not to test if it's an AGI or not.

I doubt he would've, half the point of Turing's paper was to stop people from debating what is or isn't "thinking" and to focus on the actual capabilities instead (like passing the test). He specifically wrote:

> "Can machines think?" I believe to be too meaningless to deserve discussion.

So I don't think he would've appreciated such a fuzzy term as AGI.

One of these things is useful.
