Who is moving the goalposts? In an essay called Dear Elon Musk, I laid out clear criteria for AGI in May 2022. At the time the Twitter community - and the people who invented the term — agreed the criteria were fair.

NONE of the tests I laid out have been solved.

sometimes, the term "AGI" feels pointless

WHY?

with the insane level of progress daily, it already seems like AGI has been achieved.

- it doesn’t have a clear definition
- we keep shifting the goalpost

so maybe what we're now calling AGI is actually ASI?

The statement 'It is the people claiming victory who have lowered the goalposts' is part of a public discourse on the topic of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and the shifting criteria for its achievement. The tone is critical and suggests that those who claim AGI has been achieved are responsible for changing the standards to fit their narrative.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly cause harm but implies criticism of those claiming victory, which could be seen as indirectly harmful if it leads to misinterpretation or conflict.
  2. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in criticism of those who claim AGI has been achieved by suggesting they have lowered standards. It does not engage in personal attacks but rather critiques the actions or claims of a group, which aligns with constructive criticism. [+1]
