About whether solving the ARC-AGI-3 benchmark would mean AGI has been achieved.

Once ARC-AGI-3 is solved (including on the private set), would we be convinced that we have achieved AGI?

no? once 3 is solved, we would come up with 4. then 5, 6...

Nobody can come up with a task that is easy for humans but hard for AI.
