I agree with Professor Mollick that the capabilities in specific task categories are becoming superhuman -- a precursor for AGI.

Until those capabilities are expanded for model self-improvement -- including being able to adapt its own infrastructure, code, storage, etc. -- then I think AGI/ASI are yet to be realized. My POV is SkyNet, Traveler's "The Director", Person of Interest's "The Machine" and "Samaritan." The ability to target a potentially inscrutable goal along with the self-agency to direct itself towards that is true "AGI" in my book. We have a lot of components that we can reason are necessary, but it is unclear to me that we get there in the next few months.

That's the kind of AGI we don't need. Please let Skynet stay fictional.

Not saying I love the idea of an extant ASI, but the need to clearly define it is present. I feel these self-capable examples highlight what a basic API endpoint doesn't about ASI capability.
