In my opinion, this is the crux.

Think about it for a moment. Can you define human intelligence? Have you ever gotten in a debate with someone about this? Is there a commonly accepted way to designate intelligence that isn't somewhat controversial?

How will we ever define AGI if we still haven't even defined RoHI (Regular ol' Human Intelligence) sufficiently?



This is the actual issue with AGI. No one has a rigorous, concrete and non-circular definition of human intelligence.

No doubt we'll have many useful and amazing tools, but none of them will approximate human intelligence anytime soon unless we have a deeper understanding of what it is. We're just scratching the surface of the "AI" field.

But something is certain: the next time people claim AGI has arrived, it will be another chatbot.
