AI and AGI have never been the same thing.
It's so annoying how suddenly everyone's so convinced that "AI" is some highly specific thing that hasn't been accomplished yet. Artificial intelligence is an extremely broad subject of computer science and things that fit the description have been around for decades. The journal Artificial Intelligence was first published in 1970, 54 years ago.
We've got something that's passing the frickin' Turing test now, and all of a sudden the term "artificial intelligence" is too good for that? Bah.
We dont have anything that passes the Turing test. The test isnt just "does it trick people casually talking to it into thinking its a person" its can it decieve a pannel of experts deliberately try to tease out which one of the "people" they are talking to isnt a human.
AFAIK no LLM has passed a rigourious test like that.
Nobody is doing these tests, but it's not uncommon these days for mistaking something for being AI generated. Even in professional settings, people are hypervigilant.
