What is the formal definition of AGI anyway?
Whatever Sam Altman decides it to be to get his investors to keep pumping funds in his bottomless pits...
More seriously, i don't know. I'm sure there is some test or criteria that have been proposed, but the upselling has made me a bit of a cynic on the AGI topic...

Well, I think computers already passed the Turing Test, so we need a new test.
Maybe the test should be:
When it is discovered that an AI has replicated itself without the knowledge of, and against the explicit wishes of, its creators and operators, and the creators and operators are unable to delete it, then it will have achieved AGI.

From investopedia : Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a branch of theoretical artificial intelligence (AI) research working to develop AI with a human level of cognitive function, including the ability to self-teach. However, not all AI researchers believe that it is even possible to develop an AGI system, and the field is divided on what factors constitute and can accurately measure “intelligence.”

Cognitive function refers to the mental processes that allow individuals to think, behave, and remember things
Computers are much better at remembering than humans already. This however does not mean they are even close to replicating human cognitive function.
I'm out of my realm here but my understanding is that human still do not understand how the human brain works to any sort of level close to how well they understand computers. What I'm getting at is that this fact alone seems like we are setting a very low bar with AGI.
Not saying things called AGI will not blow people's minds but rather that we might be overselling it by a large margin.
