Comment by Julian Togelius

Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at New York University, researching artificial intelligence, evolutionary computation, and game AI.
“Artificial general intelligence means you can do all these tasks, even the new ones that we haven’t thought of yet,” Togelius says. “But this is a very strange argument, because it becomes doubly unknowable. What are those tasks we don’t know because we haven’t invented them yet, because we haven’t automated the other things yet? So, I think AGI is bullshit: It’s convenient bullshit for some cases.”
