Are there different types of AGI?

While there isn't one universally agreed classification, AGI is often thought of as 'strong AI' – a system that can understand, learn, and apply intelligence across a broad range of tasks, much like a human. This differs from 'narrow AI', which excels at specific tasks, like ChatGPT’s language abilities, but lacks broader understanding, which is why its 'dangerous advice' is a concern.
