Then we already have AGI, automated farming equipment outperforms humans in 90% of jobs*.
*Jobs in 1700. As things got automated the jobs changed and we now do different things.
But more importantly - yes, you're right, we have built machines that are superhuman in various ways - and they have replaced most jobs. We have adapted in the past to different jobs.
Some people are worried that this time we won't have any new jobs to adapt to, which is a real possibility.
(Some are also worried about the inherent dangers of unaligned AGI, but that's a different issue.)
Why? Tractors run and harvest mostly on their own. They don't do it 100% on their own, but neither did the definition above, they remove basically all human work needed from farming.

My point is that I think it is a crappy definition for "AGI". I think a non-AGI agent can replace a large majority of jobs we have today, just like it has before. And maybe there will not be much more jobs average humans can do left then, but that still doesn't mean it has to be AGI.
This is incorrect. Most tractors are still human operated. The automated ones still frequently stop and need remote operator intervention via camera review.
You’re confusing knowledge and intelligence
This is irrelevant because OpenAI's definition of AGI [1] doesn't imply similarity or equivalence to humans at all:
>artificial general intelligence (AGI)—by which we mean highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work
I.e. the stated goal of this company is to put humans out of work and become the gatekeepers, not to produce something human-like.
>You can't model and predict the stock market just by training on the outputs of stock trading decisions (the high today, the low yesterday). You have to train on the inputs (company fundamentals, earnings, market sentiments in the news, etc.)
Most of your intelligence is not actually yours. It's social in nature, obtained by distillation of generations' worth of experience, simplified and passed to you through the stored knowledge. Which is, coincidentally, what the models are being trained on.
