Is there even a clear definition of AGI? How will one side or the other side know who is the "winner".


The AI labs have settled on a definition of AGI: "AI that can do the vast majority of economically valuable work at or above the level of humans."

They don't heavily advertise this definition because investors expect AGI to mean the computer from Her, and it's not gonna be that. They want to be able to tell investors without lying that they're on target for AGI in 3 years, and they're riding on pre-existing expectations.
