OpenAI o3 clearly proves that "AGI" doesn't really mean anything

o3! Wow! AGI has finally been achieved now?! No way!!

Lol.

So when is someone finally going to tell us what "AGI" means?

Or are we going to keep moving the goalposts to keep our heads in sands about the inevitable?

Okay so sure, it wasn't AGI when ChatGPT first shocked everyone including OpenAI in 2022 with dynamic responses on any single topic. I remember many were playing dumb back then and calling it glorified autocomplete.

It wasn't AGI when GPT passed the Bar and SAT.

It wasn't AGI when GPT smashed the Turing test. Never mind that what makes a Turing test has kept changing for years as AI gets more and more advanced -- another way of moving the goalposts.

Now we have o3 scoring 87.5% in the ARC-AGI benchmarks... are we there yet?

Damn, look at how much that stuff costs tho. $2,500 per task on the high end? But of course it will eventually come down -- right? Right?

No way in hell they're going to give this away for free. Maybe we can expect a new $2000 plan soon.

But is it “AGI”?

How good does AI have to get before you say it's "general"?

o3 destroys PhDs in standardized tests, gets 96.7 in one of the toughest math exams in the world, beats almost every single competitive coder on Codeforces...
