The "G" in AGI stands for "general", so talking about "AGI for software development" makes no sense, and worse than that accepts the AI companies' goalpost-shifting at face value. We shouldn't do that.
- hathawsh 1y agoPerhaps. Intelligent beings are always more skilled in some domains than others. I don't know why AGI would be an exception to that rule.

- cman1444 1y agoBut I feel like the point is that, in order to reach AGI, the most important area for AI to be good at first is software development. Because of the feedback loop that could allow.
- hathawsh 1y agoMy point exactly. Thanks.
