I'm certainly not holding my breath. In a handful of prompts I got the paid version of ChatGPT to say it's possible for dogs to lay eggs under the right circumstances.

  That's not really the point. If our definition of AGI does not include "being able to reliably do logic" then what are we even talking about? We don't really need computers with human abilities--we have plenty of humans. We need computers with _better_ abilities.

    OK, but "what we need" is not the question. If the definition of AGI is "as smart as the average human in all areas", then it doesn't matter if the average human is pretty useless at a lot of tasks, that's still the definition of AGI. But I'd like to think that, even though you could find exceptions, the average human is never confused about whether dogs can lay eggs or not.

  That's the terrifying thing about ASI. It could convince me, using everything the AI has on me, from all of my digital footprint, to do whatever it wants me to to, just by saying the right thing to me in just the right way, by copying the voice of everyone I've ever talked to, and by sending a humanoid robot in a skin suit that looks like them to my house. I give it 10 years, maybe, for that to exist.
