> Transformers have approximate knowledge of many things. Is this not 'general'?

Of course not. That's like saying the Encyclopedia Britannica is AGI.

> What does AGI mean to you?

I would define AGI as human-like machine intelligence (or superior).

This is difficult for some people to understand because they don't understand what "human-like" means in the first place. Neuroscientists would be able to set some of these wayward computer scientists straight on this question.
