I just tried to Google the Open AI definition of AGI and found a reddit thread about someone editing the Wikipedia definition of AGI to match the OpenAI one.

Interesting find! I get some astroturfing vibes from some of those edits, but I'm also a bit paranoid about those things.
The AGI article now seems heavily biased towards GPT/LLM style models and reads more like list of OpenAI achievements at certain points.
I much prefer Gartner's definition of AGI and I think when most informed people talk about about AGI, they are talking about this:

Ah. Current Wikipedia text: " An artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a hypothetical type of intelligent agent.[1] If realized, an AGI could learn to accomplish any intellectual task that human beings or animals can perform.[2][3] Alternatively, AGI has been defined as an autonomous system that surpasses human capabilities in the majority of economically valuable tasks.[4][promotion?]".
You can see the edit warring in the history, around "economically valuable tasks".

Now that Reddit user has removed their post, what timing!

How possible is it that this is just an attempt to pare down the definition of AGI just enough to squeeze under the MVP threshold and claim ( with massive support from a general media that desperately wants a solid story hook to milk for the next 3 years) a place in the history books up there with Columbus, Armstrong, and Darwin etc? A mere Nobel would seem like table stakes in comparison.
