Asking people to define "general intelligence" in a way that does not include capabilities we have had for years always reveals that people do not believe that they themselves are capable of general intelligence. At least if they held themselves to the same standards.

People expect general intelligence to mean oracle of truth, yet they make mistakes. People expect general intelligence to mean perfect memory, yet they themselves forget. People expect general intelligence to be infinitely moldable and adaptable, yet they themselves will be unable to break habits, and be unable to reason about psychedelic experiences.

If we do not currently have something that can be called AGI, we do not have something that can be called GI.
