> I wouldn't call those equipment "autonomous" though, definitely not "highly autonomous".

Why? Tractors run and harvest mostly on their own. They don't do it 100% on their own, but neither did the definition above, they remove basically all human work needed from farming.

> But more importantly - yes, you're right, we have built machines that are superhuman in various ways - and they have replaced most jobs. We have adapted in the past to different jobs.

My point is that I think it is a crappy definition for "AGI". I think a non-AGI agent can replace a large majority of jobs we have today, just like it has before. And maybe there will not be much more jobs average humans can do left then, but that still doesn't mean it has to be AGI.

This is incorrect. Most tractors are still human operated. The automated ones still frequently stop and need remote operator intervention via camera review.
