You misunderstand. Our definition of AGI is constantly shifting the more capable AI becomes to the point where it is always clearly not there yet and clearly we will not get there with current tech.

No, I say we would have called the current state of things AGI in a pre chatGPT time.

I'd say it would be something like:
"If a bike can drive 100 km/h, it's clearly a superbike"
[3 years later]
"This bike drives 100 km/h, so it is a superbike"
"No, only a bike that is going 500 km/h is a superbike and this bike is still very far off"
This an absurdly circular argument. You are simply asserting that, if we had had today's systems 4 years ago, we would have would have called them AGI, even those who don't call them that today.
> Now I don't know if what we have is AGI or not
But you just asserted that we do.
> I do not understand how you can see what has happened in the last 3 years and say "it will not get us there"
They explained how. Your argument, OTOH, is nonsensical, like suggesting that, because a bike path was built rapidly, it will soon become a highway.
