We aren’t even close to AGI

Key Points

  • The post argues that claims of having reached AGI by figures like Jensen Huang and Marc Andreessen are premature.
  • It cites a personal test of Claude (Opus 4.6, max plan) attempting to play Elden Ring, failing to progress beyond the initial chapel even after character creation.
  • The author claims AGI should generalize to new tasks and reason beyond training data, so inability to handle a widely completed game undermines the AGI argument.
  • Overall, the piece uses a practical benchmark-style anecdote to question current AI systems’ “general intelligence” capabilities.

Supposedly we’ve reached AGI according to Jensen Huang and Marc Andreessen.

What a load of shit. I tried to get Claude code with Opus 4.6 max plan to play Elden Ring. Couldn’t even get past the first room. It made it past the character creator, but couldn’t leave the original chapel.

If it can’t play a game that millions have beat, if it can’t even get past the first room, how are we even close to Artificial GENERAL Intelligence?

I understand that this isn’t in its training data but that’s the entire point. Artificial general intelligence is supposed to be able to reason and think outside of its training data.
