It’s a question as old as time. Or at least as old as Terminator 2. Is AGI here? With the launch today of ‘GPT-6 Astra’, yes, says OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman. It’s settled then. We can all agree that no one could ever agree on an actual definition of “AGI” – not even Microsoft and OpenAI despite it insanely being a key contractual agreement – so Brockman is essentially calling it what it has become: a marketing term. And so what’s the downside in using it to your marketing advantage? Absolutely nothing! So we’re here, baby. The singularity. AGI. CGI. CSI: Miami. It’s all happening. Honestly, it’s a bit disappointing to see OpenAI be so flippant here. Yes, the term was way too loaded, but that was in no small part OpenAI’s own fault over the past many years – including, yes, due to ‘The Clause’ with Microsoft.

Full critique : By declaring GPT-6 Astra to be AGI, OpenAI is being flippant and cementing the term’s status as nothing more than marketing.
