About what bar an AI would need to clear to count as AGI, after DeepMind's Gato.

I'm still fine with using the Turing Test (now >70 years old) for this.

I guess a key stipulation there is an interrogator who know what they're doing, but an AI that can fool an experienced interrogator would be worthy of the AGI title to me.

An AI fools an experienced interrogator in a Turing test.
