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!
