    AGI stand for artificial general intelligence. It would be a AI smart and capable enough to perform theoretically any task just as good as a human would. Most importantly a AGI could do so with tasks it has never done before and could learn them in a similar time frame as a human (perhaps faster).

    Pretty much all robots you see in SciFi walking around and acting similar to humans are AGI’s.

      Thanks for the info. Still seems needlessly specific to distinguish it from AI, when AI is already being watered down…

        AI isn’t being watered down, quite the opposite.

        Path finding, computer vision, optical character recognition, machine learning and large language models were all unambiguously considered to be vAI technology before they were widespread, and now the media and general public tend to avoid the term for all but the most recent developments.

        It’s called The AI Effect
