Matt,
What I meant was: do you see any AGI projects as well-specified? IMO finding
out what an AGI project *does* is like getting blood out of a computer -
basically because AGI-ers haven't decided what their project is supposed to
do. Jim's answer to you was typical.
You have given examples of specificity, but they do not clearly distinguish
AGI from narrow AI, wh. is what a proper project specification should do.
I gave a simple example: " a narrow AI can run a maze it already knows how
to run, this true AGI will, like all animals, run mazes it *doesn't* know
how to run - freeform configurations, for which there are no formula"

Can you be ahem more specific about your ideal specification?
A specification describes what a program should do. For AGI, we
generally mean it should be able to do anything that a human could do.
More practically, it would be anything that you might pay a human to
do (because these are goals that investors would be willing to fund).
A more detailed specification might list specific, intermediate goals
or tests, such as:
1. Ability to fill in missing words in text with human level accuracy.
2. Ability to pass college level final exams in most subjects.
3. Ability to match captions to images.
4. Ability to classify videos as funny or not.
5. If equipped with a camera and robot arm, ability to catch and throw a
ball.
Do any AGI projects meet your criteria?
I believe all of these problems will eventually be solved. However I
don't believe that anyone on this list has the resources to do it
themselves.
