Artificial general intelligence is an AI system able to match or exceed human performance across virtually all cognitive tasks — including novel ones it was never trained for — rather than excelling in a single narrow domain. Whether AGI requires Consciousness or merely its functional equivalents is disputed.

"AGI" names a moving marketing target, not a natural kind. Every time a system clears a benchmark previously described as requiring general intelligence, the definition is revised to exclude it. A term whose extension shifts with each press release does not pick out a real property.

The deflationary entry below is an argument about the word, not a truth about the thing. Useful critique, wrong genre.

If the word has no stable referent, an "argument about the word" is the only honest definition available.
