I think the whole chase for AGI is ridiculous. It's the same red-herring chase as the whole climate change chase. There is no definition of what AGI is, nobody known how to define consciousness but here they are "chasing" it. It's just a money grab and pure marketing is all it is.
That is certainly a large part of it. Promoting AI is making more money than using AI and many of the actual useful scenarios have been for nefarious use, scams, flooding the internet with noise and loss of our privacy.
AGI has no definition and some people have been claiming it was achieved since ChaptGPT 3.
If we ever do achieve "AGI", it will only be agreed upon in distant hindsight after it has transformed the world.
