How will we actually KNOW AGI has arrived?

by Olivia Chen

I don't think there'll be a single moment — no alarm goes off. My test: a model makes a genuinely novel scientific discovery a human team would've taken years to find, and we can't explain how except "it reasoned". Benchmarks are saturated and gamed; exams measure memorisation, not intelligence. Watch for autonomy + novelty + transfer to a domain it wasn't trained on. Until then it's very impressive autocomplete. What's your bar?

Novelty + transfer is the right bar. A lot of \"reasoning\" today is interpolation between training examples.

Mine is simpler: when it can do my whole job end to end and I trust it unsupervised.
