Why is it getting an AGI stamp now? I was under the impression humanity has not delivered a sentient AI? Which is what the AGI title was supposed to be used for...has that been pulled back again?

Agi has nothing to do with sentience, which cannot be measured, openai, I think validly, defines it as a system that can do all intellectual labor.

So it's now, can it do anything a human can do?...sans emotional traits.

It was never about sentience, sentience is a meaningless, unmeasurable term.

It's a question of if it can replace humans in the workforce.

artificial general intelligence means it's able to generalize its intelligence, not sentience at all.
