I like the Coffee Test (from Steve Wozniak): (Number 2 on this page) https://analyticsindiamag.com/5-ways-to-test-whether-agi-has-truly-arrived/

Basically, put an ai-powered robot in a random house in America and instruct it to make a cup of coffee.

So I see a few problems with this, number one, some of the smartest people I know make terrible coffee. Number 2 I'm sure some people with really low intelligence can make great coffee, I can also imagine a closed system narrow AI to be trained on enough data to complete this task with no general intelligence, fun fact, I just asked gpt2 to describe the steps in making a cup of coffee and it was extremely close, (apart from boiling the water) so much so that gpt3 would have no issue with it I'm guessing. Add some image recognition, some motor function and I'm pretty sure a few current AIs could accomplish this in 99% of situations.

The coffee doesn't have to be good.

The AI needs to be to a level that it can control a robot, not just write out text steps for making coffee.

The step we're missing is the general intelligence to control a robot and actually make the coffee.

I'm less intimated putting an alternator in a car than I am by a coffee machine, because I hate coffee and don't drink it.
