> Let’s say it can simulate theory of computation better than 99% of the population and can very capably synthesize and infer from any text based sources. I think that would shake the world, and it wouldn’t even need to be near AGI.
The total percentage isn't exactly what matters. Emergent properties as a metric is a smokescreen.
If that last 1% incorrectly demonstrates that A<C<B implies A<B<C, that means the system is not reliable enough to perform logical computations. You'd need to have a person oversee 100% to catch the last 1% of serious but basic errors. In such a case you might as well hire the person directly for the job.
