The goalposts seem to have shifted to a point where the "AGI" label will only be retroactively applied to an AI that was able to develop ASI

how many times must we repeat that AGI is whatever will sell the project. it means nothing. even philosophers don't have a good definition of "intelligence"

AGI just refers roughly to the intelligence it would take to replace most if not all white collar workers. There is no precise definition, but it's not meaningless.

They still can't reliably do what humans can do across our attributes. That's what AGI was originally about. They have become quite capable, though.

An AGI would be able to learn things while you are talking to it, for example.

Isn't this already the case? Perhaps you mean in a non-transient fashion, i.e. internalizes the in-context learning into the model itself, sort of an ongoing training, that isn't sort of a "hack" like writing notes or adding to a RAG database or whatever.
