I am curious to do a poll of what AGI means to each person. It stands for "Artificial General Intelligence" but some have different definitions.
For some, it might mean any that is as capable as a normal human. For some, non-biological life axiomatically cannot become AGI. For some, it might require literal omniscience and omnipotence and accepting anything as AGI means, to them, that they are being told to worship it as a God. For some, it might mean something more like an AI that is more competent than the most competent human at literally every task. For some, acknowledging it means that we must acknowledge it has person-like rights. For some it cannot be AGI if it lies. For some it cannot be AGI if it makes any mistake. For some it cannot be AGI until it has more power than humans. These are several definitions and implications that are partially mutually conflicting but I have seen different people say that AGI is each different one of those.
- mypastself 4y agoYeah, even the linked article acknowledges the problem while defining AGI as a computer with “human-level cognitive abilities”, which is broad enough as to be borderline useless. Whenever a major company references AGI, as is the case here, I mentally replace the term with “Skynet”, because I expect the statement’s aim is to instill fear. If Google ever develops AGI, you can be sure they’ll call it something else.
