100 percent accurate will never happen, nor does it need to. But think about the intelligence of an average human. Can we beat that? At least along some collection of concrete axes, enough to create a form of intelligence that can rightfully be called general?

It remains to be seen, but the days where I scoffed at that idea are firmly in the past where they belong. Today we are building machines with intelligence high enough that it is forcing us to reconsider and redefine what intelligence is. And there is a huge amount of progress just sitting in front of us, waiting to be fed into models.



Even AGI as a whole is overhyped. It's a valuable goal, but AI that beats humans on narrow metrics is still economically valuable because of scale.
