If the bar for AGI is "as smart as a human being," and humans do not-very-smart things like invest obscene amounts of money into developing AGI then maybe it's actually not as high of a bar as we assume it is.
“A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.”
If AGI wants to hit human level intelligence, I think it’s got a long way to go. But if it’s aiming for our collective intelligence, maybe it’s pretty close after all…
It is still interesting tech. I wish it were being used more for search and compression.
