“Modern AGIs” because we had classic AGIs? Last I checked AGI remains in the realm of science fiction and prank tweets. I hope this is a translation snafu as it reads like clickbait.
We don't have another good term. Unfortunately, "AGI" is also overloaded to mean not just general purpose but also alive, embodied, complete emulation of human, sentient, godlike, etc. And everyone has a slightly different definition of which humanlike or godlike characteristics of people or animals something should have to be qualified as AGI.
I think this is a failure of language or language use as much as anything.
But prior to having something like GPT-4 or Claude-3 with vision you had to train a different model or use a different library for every task. Now you can use the same model for many very different tasks.
It's clearly got the "general" part, even though it doesn't have _all_ of the cognitive abilities of humans or even animals.
We will run out of 'A[A-Z]I' before there will be actual AI.
No problem - we'll just ask AI to find a new solution!
