Key difference, what is called AI in science fiction isn’t the same as the AI we see today. These companies just adopted the term AI from science fiction as a marketing strategy. Not because it’s actually representative.
Some people are now having to clarify AGI, rather than just AI, because the term has got so diluted.
Yeah, we realistically call the general term “AI” as LLMs. It’s just another way for corporate giants to jump the gun on another dying ship to boost their own income and let everyone else die on the ship. Fuck LLMs, fuck corporate slop and fuck the 1%ers
The “robot” arms that took over assembly lines are not really any different than the machines that started the industrial revolution. They are simply a refinement of that technology. A true takeover would require something that didn’t need to be reprogrammed any time you needed to shift a bolt over a millimeter.
To be fair, I’m not saying “AGI” didn’t exist before, I’m just saying it wasn’t used very wildly because at the time “AI” and “AGI” were otherwise synonymous.

If the line is “AGI is what is necessary for us to have robots to do labor”, then we’ve had “AGI” since 1961.
