Here's a simple rule I use: When someone tells you AGI is coming, ask yourself what they're selling. VCs need the hype for valuations. Researchers need it for funding. Doomers sell fear. Skeptics sell their brand. Even I'm selling you my podcast 😅 There's no single moment where we'll suddenly have it. We'll reach superhuman level on some tasks, human level on others, and stay behind on many. Some tasks have already happened, while others will take forever. The thing is that for 99% of problems, I don't care about "general intelligence." I just want something that solves my problem. Sometimes it's way better than humans. Sometimes about the same. Sometimes worse but still useful. None of this is "AGI." "AGI" is not a scientific concept. It's a story. And usually someone is selling it to you.
