OpenAI and Microsoft recently redefined “artificial general intelligence” as OpenAI making $100 billion profit.

Defining intelligence this way means that virtually no human who has ever lived qualifies as intelligent, either. That's one way for machine intelligence to reach parity with human intelligence, I suppose.

Then again, Sam Altman has lit enough of Microsoft's money on fire that he especially doesn't count as intelligent according to this definition. So maybe it has some merit after all.
