Are we close to having artificial general intelligence?

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is a field within theoretical AI research working to create AI systems with cognitive functions comparable to human capabilities. AGI remains a theoretical concept that’s not well defined, and its definition and opinions on its eventual realization vary. Nevertheless, loosely speaking, AGI involves AI systems/agents equipped with a broad capacity to understand and learn across many diverse domains and address diverse problems in various contexts, not just narrow expertise in one field. These systems should have the ability to generalize the knowledge they gain, transfer learning from one domain, and apply knowledge and skills to novel situations and problems like humans do.

The impressive capabilities displayed by LLMs and diffusion models have generated a lot of excitement about the potential to achieve AGI. Their ability to perform reasonably well across a wide variety of natural...
