If a term can mean anything from "passed a Turing test" to "achieved consciousness", it's not a spectrum - it's a category error.
Current frontier models are meaningfully different from what existed two years ago. Reliable tool calling, coherence across a session, actually being useful to build on top of - none of this worked reliably before. That threshold deserves its own name, and "AGI" is too broken to use for it.
We need terminology with enough resolution to distinguish what we had before, what we have now, and what may come later.
Curious what people think - especially on the intuition point, which I think gets handwaved a lot.
