People need to stop redefining and trying to capture the term AGI. None of this is AGI. Not even close. Can it do things an AGI could do? Yeah some of it, but the difference really matters. These things still regularly fail, and gaslight about answers to questions like "how many r's in strawberry" or "s's in espresso".

An AGI wouldn't struggle with that.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that there are plenty of savants who can't tell you how many r's are in strawberry.

The last version to fail on those questions was GPT 4.5.

Meanwhile most humans fail to correctly answer how many f's are in the sentence, "Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of many years.".

this has been debunked too many times to bother rebutting. they struggle with those things because of the way they are.

it's completely irrelevant.
