I read it too and it seems like the problem is precisely that nobody has a precise definition of what AGI will be. A system that is always right ? If so impossible. A system that is just like humans ? Humans are sometimes right and sometimes wrong so how do you manage it when it is a machine with zero consciousness? At least the article correctly explain why we can't build AGI with LLMs only.

I think people have personal definitions but they differ so it can be hard to know what you are talking about. For me I have it as able to do all the intellectual stuff that humans do including making scientific discoveries, designing new computers and so forth.

AGI doesn't really specify a level, like Deepmind's general video game player was artificial and general but most people think human level or better with AGI.
