    So since what’s available now isn’t actually AI, what do we call it when we do get real AI? Will it be like what happened with HD? With True AI™ followed by Ultra AI™, AI4K™, and so on until we just call them master?

      “Artificial General Intelligence” (AGI) seems to be the new term for what used to be considered AI.

      I’m sure they’ll move the goalposts once again whenever “AI” stops bringing in the money and the VCs/Wall Street get ridiculously focused on “AGI” startups and scammers.

      AGI (artificial general intelligence) is the current term for “The Concept Formerly Known As AI”. Not really a new term, but it’s only recently that companies decided that any algorithm can qualify as regular “AI” if they consider it good enough.
