AGI vs. ASI: Reddit discusses evolving AI capability indicators

The discussion on Reddit's r/singularity forum explores the evolving definitions of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Artificial Superintelligence (ASI). Participants debate whether current AI models, despite their advanced capabilities, truly represent AGI or are merely sophisticated algorithms with spiky performance. The conversation suggests that the ability to solve complex, long-standing problems like curing diseases or tackling millennium problems might indicate ASI rather than AGI, with some users noting a potential shift in goalposts for AGI indicators around the time of the OpenAI (o1) release.
