Is that where learning comes in? Any actual AGI machine will be able to learn. We should be able to buy a robot that comes ready to learn and we teach it all the things we want it to do. That might mean a lot of broken dishes at first, but it's about what you would expect if you were to ask a toddler to load your dishes into the dishwasher.
My personal bar for when we reach actual AGI is when it can be put in a robot body that can navigate our world, understand spatial relationships, and can learn from ordinary people.
