Folks in the 2010s would think ChatGPT was AGI, says Altman
Briefly

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, speculated that if people had seen ChatGPT prior to its 2020 launch, they would consider it Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). He emphasized that the definition of AGI varies among people, but stressed the significance of the significant progress in AI technology over recent years. Altman argued that popular opinion might shape perceptions of scientific achievements, citing the ongoing debate about what constitutes AGI and emphasizing the improvement in AI capabilities observed annually.
"Just before we launched GPT-3 [in June 2020], the world had not yet seen a good language model. If you could go back to that moment and show someone ChatGPT today - to say nothing of Codex or anything else - but just ChatGPT. I think most people would say that's AGI for sure."
"We're great at adjusting our expectations, which I think is a wonderful thing about humanity. Mostly, the question of what AGI is doesn't matter. It is a term that people define differently."
