AGI defined as transformative, at least human-level, but potentially superhuman AI, capable of doing at least any cognitive task humans can do, at least at human level.

The criterion to resolve this will be very hard to define. Whatever is write on the description doesn’t explain anything. What is considered “human-level”? Cognitive tests? Chat-GPT does a lot of human level cognition already.
AGI is artificial consciousness, capable of adaptation and self awareness in the same way of humans.
@DavidBolin Chat-GPT is already doing a lot of work that you can hire someone to do. I agree that doesn’t make it AGI though.
@drcat Human level means that it can do every cognitive task most humans can do, at least as well as humans.
A good proxy for that is if it can do every job humans can do. If it can't, it's not AGI.
That ignores jobs that require a body of course, that's why I specify cognitive tasks, but it would be trivial for an AGI to design a robot like Atlas, and have someone build it, since humans can do it, and then with that it can do pretty much every job.
@drcat A lot of work is not all work. It means it still lacks something that humans have. When it can do everything humans can do, that's AGI.
@MarioCannistra So if you have a robot that can mimic every human task and pass any cognitive test, but it has to be programmed to do it by a human, is that AGI?
@drcat Depends what you mean by "programmed".
Humans don't have to be programmed, but you have to teach them to do things they don't know, which I guess you could consider a form of programming in natural language. If the AI is at that level, it's AGI.
GPT-4 fails at this, but not by much. You can teach it things, but in many tasks it's not as good as a human (while in others is superhuman).
@Tomoffer I think it updates mostly on general sentiment based on all news regarding AI advancements, not anything in particular.
