5 years away from AGI when we can't even define what AGI is?

Sure sure, we're also 5 years away from direct contact with a deity... now we just have to decide what we mean by 'direct contact' and 'deity'!

When you don't have to define the words first, they kinda mean nothing.

Logically, any concept of 'deity' would be a type 2 or higher civilization. 'Direct contact' would be them arsing themselves to become revealed to us for reasons other than ultimately becoming stuck in Earth's gravity well. Any such reason would just be a concept of resource harvesting, which would be offset by the cost of fighting Earth's gravity to extract them into and beyond orbit.

Point is, it's theoretically possible. Same with AGI. No word yet on plausibility.

But I digress.

If we have AGI, we're going to need UBI

Unless the AI could find things for people to do...
