"People talk about this concept called AGI, which means artificial general intelligence, which basically means an AI that's as smart as a person. And I actually think we crossed that about 3 months ago. And I think it was with the very latest versions of the leading models."
Marc Andreessen told Joe Rogan that the tech industry achieved artificial general intelligence approximately three months prior to the interview, marking a historic milestone that has received surprisingly little public attention. He specified that the latest versions of models like GPT-5.5, Claude 4.6, and Gemini 3.0 now provide better answers than almost any human expert 99% of the time, representing a fundamental shift in human capability that rivals electricity and steam power in importance.
