‘AGI’ means ‘Artificial Generative Intelligence’, which is a fancy name used for LLMs by marketers and techbros.
Or did you mean something else?

AI is here to stay as they’ve already moved on to calling what is actual AI AGI (artificial general intelligence). so look out for AGI in the future because it’s not too far off.

It mean Artificial General intelligence and the term has been around for almost three decades.
The term AGI was first used in 1997 by Mark Avrum Gubrud in an article named ‘Nanotechnology and international security’
By advanced artificial general intelligence, I mean AI systems that rival or surpass the human brain in complexity and speed, that can acquire, manipulate and reason with general knowledge, and that are usable in essentially any phase of industrial or military operations where a human intelligence would otherwise be needed. Such systems may be modeled on the human brain, but they do not necessarily have to be, and they do not have to be “conscious” or possess any other competence that is not strictly relevant to their application. What matters is that such systems can be used to replace human brains in tasks ranging from organizing and running a mine or a factory to piloting an airplane, analyzing intelligence data or planning a battle.___

Thank you. I’ve only heard ‘generative’ but I’ve not really kept up with the tech until the past few years since it wasn’t much of a thing before that.

i meant what i said, unfortunately lol. it’s in the “hypothetical” stages but isn’t science fiction either. every major AI company has stated it is their goal.

Gotcha.

In the 80s people be calling a pathfinding algorithm Artificial Intelligence.
I have a whole book written in the 90s about artificial intelligence with if…else statements.
We haven’t move the goal anywhere, artificial intelligence in computer science always have been used for things that are not truly intelligent.

Or AGI is a good way to move the goal posts after you’ve overhyped your hoverboard which doesn’t really hover.

So what you’re saying is we gotta knock em over, steal their hoverboards and run away before we bust out the dictionary
