Can someone explain to me what AGI means in this context? I thought it was something that Joe Rogan keeps peddling to my parents.

To give you an actual answer, it means "artificial general intelligence"

It's a sci-fi term. Up there with "robots will become sentient and take over the world." It means the first half, in fact.

Ironic since Joe Rogan isn't an example of General Intelligence, he's a very narrow intelligence. Limited only to stiring up trouble. But he couldn't think his way out of an unlocked room.

A machine made in the likeness of a human mind to quote a popular thing. Basically something that can think and reason in the same ways that we can and self improve.

so basically a cylon, which the AI was derived from a human mind originally.
