We sort of are able to recognize Nobel-worthy breakthroughs

One of the many definitions I have for AGI is being able to create the proofs for the 2030, 2050, 2100, etc Nobel Prizes, today

A sillier one I like is that AGI would output a correct proof that P ≠ NP on day 1

Isn't AGI just "general" intelligence as in -like a regular human- turing test kinda deal?

aren't you thinking about ASI/ Superintelligence way capable of outdoing humans?

Yes, a general consensus is AGI should be able to perform any task an average human is able to perform. Definitely nothing of Nobel prize level.

A bit poorly named; not really very general. AHI would be a better name.

AAI would be enough for me, although there are people who deny intelligence of non-human animals.

Another general consensus is that humans possess general intelligence.

Yes, we do seem to have a very high opinion of ourselves.

The goalposts are regularly moved so that AI companies and their investors can claim/hype that AGI will be around in a few years. :-)

I learned the definition I provided back in mid 90s, and it hasn't really changed since then.
