How much of your job would an AI need to do before you called it AGI?

Computer use got very real this year. Agents now open your apps, click the buttons and move through websites almost like you do. Pair that with voice and I won't be surprised if we barely touch our keyboards by next year.

Companies are building this in different ways.

Codex and Claude have their own browsers inside the app and they can also work in your Chrome.

Grok Bot and Meta's Muse go a step further. They give agents their own cloud computers, so the agent can use apps and keep working after you close the chat.

Then there's Jev, a new model that looks very promising for computer use because it's small, fast and cheap. It doesn't write text like ChatGPT or Claude. It makes quick choices: yes or no, or pick from options like X, Y or Z. That's exactly what an agent needs when deciding which button to click next.

Codex has already changed how I work. I ask it to get my posts ready on LinkedIn and X. It opens the sites, adds the text, uploads the images and stops before Publish so I can check everything.

Watching an agent do work that used to need me at the keyboard sometimes feels like we are moving towards AGI. Though it still gets stuck and I still check the result.

So what should be the line? 10% of your work? Half? All of it?
