About what definition of AGI computers haven't already met.

- passing a hard Turing test, adversarial and with a duration of a few weeks and comparing with 10th percentile humans.

- being a roughly human equivalent remote worker.

- having robust common sense on language tasks

- having robust common sense on video, audio and robotics tasks, basically housework androids (robotics is not the difficulty anymore).

Just to name a few. There is a huge gap between what LLMs van do and what you describe!
