General AI is a mountain range.

From far away it's easy to point at it and say 'that's it!'

As you get closer though it gets harder and harder to determine when you're actually on or at the top of the mountain, because you're surrounded by other smaller mountains.

I think the same will happen with AI. We're obsessed with the only 3-5 AI's currently available, but by the end of the year there will be multiple AI's doing multiple things very very well.

The AI landscape is going to change, and we'll be so surrounded by AI's that it will be hard to determine which one, by itself, becomes the general AI of our dreams.

Maybe the General AI is just one that knows which sub-AI model is best for the task you request and farms it out to that one in particular? Kind of like a general contractor and sub-contractors when you do home renovations..
