About what would count as artificial general intelligence, beyond passing the Turing test.

The Turing test is too easy. My test would be when the AI can apply to a random remote job, get it and then receive salary for a few years, quit, apply to a new job with updated CV, get a raise etc without anyone noticing it is an AGI.

An AI gets hired for remote jobs, is paid for years, and changes jobs for a raise without anyone noticing it's an AI.

Has this happened?
