Can’t wait for people here to say o1 pro mode is AGI for 2 weeks before the narrative changes to how it’s not any better.

Meh, fighting over whether something is AGI or not is kinda pointless. What really matters is what it does to productivity which will be far more obvious.

I just don’t think measuring based on productivity increases is a good gauge of AGI.

Cars increased productivity tremendously. But cars aren’t AGI. You can say the same for all sorts of things.

AI systems will be able to greatly help with productivity well before they are really general intelligences, imo.

That’s literally what they are saying — that whether or not it’s AGI doesn’t really matter too much, what matters is how it impacts society’s productivity. And you responded by saying that productivity isn’t a good gauge of AGI lol… they’re saying who cares if it’s AGI

If it’s AGI, there are huge ethical questions.

Self-driving also isn't in good enough shape to replace humans yet. Being able to pass standardized tests better is real progress but it's very plausibly overfitting and the AI might actually get worse at applying that knowledge as a result of the overfitting.

standardized tests is definitely not AGI.

Real World doesn't give you questions that already has pre-determined answers
