@littmath I do agree that AGI does not entail/demand superhuman in all domains. or even Nobel caliber. But I would expect it to be on a par with eg professors in tier 1 universities.

@littmath Median human mathematical performance is getting fractions right. That’s can’t be all that AGI needs to clear.

I don't think o3 is AGI, but FWIW I think a model could be AGI but not superhuman at math research. As I understand it, AGI means "as good as the median human at almost all intellectual tasks," and I don't think surpassing median human mathematical performance is a very high bar.

But but but Tyler Cowen promised me o3 was AGI?
