AGI Is the Wrong Word

If you can't agree on a concrete definition of AGI, how can you even know if it is here or not?

That is the problem and it depends on who you talk to.

But it is certainly not here when you still need humans to pilot a commercial plane or cement the roads and launch rockets into space.

Exactly. Crunching numbers in a datacenter is one thing, and it's a good thing. But being out in the physical world, making a positive impact and bringing value at scale is a whole other ball game. And we are nowhere near that. And before anyone says I'm moving goalposts, let me ask you this: you think humans are AGI? Ok, fine. Well, what if none of us moved, ever? Yes, of course disabled people are just as human and just as intelligent as all of us. But we didn't get to this point in human civilization without moving and we won't get to the next without autonomous machines that interact with the real world just like we do.
