I think the problem with mythologizing and the fictional nonsense would have grown up around whatever term was originally adopted.
AGI though is just the worst. If I am consider to posses general intelligence then why I am so bad at painting? I would love to be able to paint, even to just do Picasso ripoffs but I can't even make something close after much time, effort and training on past data/paintings.
When a computer has the same type of problem though then it negates any concept of general intelligence for the computer.
Nothing short of an Artificial God will satisfy what we mean by AGI.
Our poorly defined language here is causing philosophical problems.
I think a good analogy is to artificial light. The attitude towards AI would be to not be impressed by the light bulb but be constantly waiting for some miniature Sun/star that doesn't even make sense. That light bulb is not real artificial light says the AGI fanatic.
