> The AGI bubble is bursting a little bit

I'm surprised that any of these companies consider what they are working on to be Artificial General Intelligences. I'm probably wrong, but my impression was AGI meant the AI is self aware like a human. An LLM hardly seems like something that will lead to self-awareness.

I have not heard your definition of AGI before. However, I suspect AIs are already self-aware: if I asked an LLM on my machine to look at the output of `top` it could probably pick out which process was itself.

Or did you mean consciousness? How would one demonstrate that an AGI is conscious? Why would we even want to build one?

My understanding is an AGI is at least as smart as a typical human in every category. That is what would be useful in any case.
