Let's all just admit it instead of dodging multiple AGI definitions like "reaching human-level reasoning and cognition", "taking over economically significant tasks which benefits humanity", "$100B profits" or "raising more money until AGI", etc.

This is the actual true definition of "AGI" (and ASI and so on) which is actually happening.

The ultimate replacement of humans with AI systems (and to an increase of 10% global unemployment by 2035)
