Future headline: AGI IS SOLVED!

Researchers today unveiled a humanoid robot that passes all tests for
artificial general intelligence. It can drive a truck, do brain
surgery, write software, give expert legal advice, play world class
soccer, manage a company, compose music, or do anything else that a
human could do. Other researchers from around the world react:

- "This isn't AI. It's just a machine executing a complex algorithm,
just like Deep Blue and Watson."
- "There is nothing new. We've known how to do it since the 1960's.
The only difference is they are running it on a 10 petaflop computer."
- "It's just marketing hype. I already solved the problem when I was a
teenager."
- "I didn't actually do any research, but I know it's fake."
- "It's not AI because it's not conscious. It's not conscious because
it's not human."
- "Big deal. It can't do ___."
- "Why do we need AGI anyway? What good is a fake person when we have
plenty of real people?"
