I think you're talking about ASI (artificial superintelligence). AGI just means that it's a general problem solver as opposed to a narrow AI. It doesn't have to

  That's what I think it should mean, but I see very few discussions these days where anyone uses AGI to describe something that is not superhuman and all of those other traits. So trying to use it as "general problem solver" which makes more sense to me also, is going to confuse most people. Part of the problem is that people don't understand that there can be a difference between general purpose and "living conscious digital superbeing". Somehow if its general purpose then in their minds it automatically is just like a person but also godlike. And that means that people can't admit that any AI is general purpose.

Because almost everyone including top researches assume that once an AGI is a thing, it will quite rapidly become an ASI.

      But if you look into detail about what they are saying, they are talking about animal/human-like conscious digital beings that have thousands or millions of times the performance of a human. So they are also making a leap there between something that is general purpose and that.

        Yes, that’s why it’s alarming…
