Ask HN: What is a task that would convince you AI has reached human intellect?

Write a post about crafting a strong AGI, post it to HN, earn many upvotes, and clone a few of itself to comment on the thread without being downvoted.

I'd still say conversation, despite all the focus put into this. They can now be more entertaining conversationalists, but as it is, they are still dreamlike. They forget what was said 2 hours ago. They can move from one topic to another, but they can't go deeper into a topic. They don't have the childlike curiosity to inquire and learn more about things, nor a focused enough memory to tell someone about that thing later.

Your question is almost orthogonal to the way AI is developed. It starts with the task and the AI algorithm is specialised to it. In that sense, we have AI that has not just human but superhuman performance in tasks like playing chess for example, and we're working on many other tasks.

AI that resembles human intellect in the general sense is still just a dream. And we're not remotely close to even knowing how to approach this problem, let alone solve it.
