Aren't those terms totally meaningless in terms of modern "AI" though? AGI is nowhere near being able to play a violin solo, their fine motor skills are abysmal. The list goes on and on, they also aren't running a bakery, collecting field data for ecological studies, or playing literally any sport any time soon either. The concept of a disembodied system even being "smart" doesn't make sense to me.
