The $100B AGI Definition Mess: Microsoft and OpenAI's Rift

Microsoft and OpenAI are locked in a bitter dispute over the definition of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), casting a shadow over their $13 billion contract. Some define AGI as an AI system generating $100 billion in profit, a purely arbitrary economic benchmark. The lack of a consensus definition hinders AI development, regulation, and discourse. The author suggests AGI should possess broad generalization capabilities, handling diverse tasks across domains, but the 'human-level' benchmark itself is problematic. This definitional clash highlights the conceptual ambiguity plaguing the AI field.
