Apparently 54% of American adults read at or below a sixth-grade level nationwide. I’d say AGI is kinda here already.

Does a country failed education system has anything to do with AGI?

Yes if you measure AGI against median human.

Why do you think a US citizen represents the median human?

Let me guess, you are from USA.

Then why should we use Americans as the average human?
