Reply to comment by Sashinii in The goalposts for "I'll believe it's real AI when..." have moved to "literally duplicate Einstein" by Yuli-Ban

Nobody is claiming that AGI isn't possible. What people are skeptical of is the endless corporate PR that "We have created AGI" or "AGI is near". There are so many gullible fools believing in corporate PR of AI hype. It's beyond pathetic.

What kind of corporate PR has claimed to have AGI?

As for "near", well yes. It's noticeable we have most human cognitive capabilities in place as narrow AI, separate from one another, and the remaining challenge—at least for the transformer paradigm—is in going sufficiently multi-modal between them.

An AGI isn't just a collection of separate single-stance intelligences or narrow AIs. An AGI is a general intelligence, meaning that it's an intelligence that is capable of any kind of intelligences. It takes more than being just a collection of many. An AGI is capable of say, sentience, which is a type of an intelligence.
