I think it has a practical, easy definition. Can you drop an AI into a terminal, give it the same resources as a human, and reliably get independent work product greater than that human would produce across a wide domain? If so, it's an AGI.

Doesn't sound like AGI without physical capabilities. It's not general if it's bound to digital work.

I think the intelligence is general if it can do any remote job that only requires digital IO.

It's general intelligence, not general humanity

Any AGI capable of this wouldn't have much trouble with physical operation of equipment, of all things.
