When you start seeing souped up Narrow-AI and proto-AGI systems this is when it will become interesting because what's to distinguish and how do you know where the line is between proto-AGI and AGI. Self-modifying proto could morph into full blown AGI over a period of time. Souped up Narrow could approach AGI or imitate AGI enough where it has appeal. And souped up Narrow-AI could wrap proto-AGI to facilitate certain things like speech rec and visual processing. In my mind (perhaps I need to read more) the specific properties of AGI are not defined precisely enough to be able to distinguish it but I just take AGI as generally adaptable AI. The other stuff like consciousness and self-awareness I see as thrown into the AGI soup or are emergent properties not necessarily required for general intelligence.
