No one is talking past each other. These are specific points about capabilities. For problems that can be solved on paper, we've reached relatively general capabilities. For other problems, especially in the physical world, we haven't. It will be more scientific and productive to talk specifically about capabilities, and categories of capabilities, than to have many personal definitions of "AGI" floating around. The term AGI, and debates about what it means, have generally been adding more confusion than clarity.
