The level of artificial intelligence humans in the present moment think AI should be able to achieve in the future based only on current needs, expectations, and imagination. It’s basically a moving baseline of “AI smart enough” that will always look outdated in hindsight. It's not what AI actually can do, but what we, stuck in the present, assume it should do one day.
In 2025, people might say a “generic intelligent” AI should be able to wash dishes, write essays, drive cars, and do taxes.
In 2050, those same expectations might sound dumb, because maybe no one even has dishes, homework, or taxes anymore.

Back in the 1800s, artificial generic intelligence would’ve been an AI that milks cows and writes letters for you. Now that’s writing essay and doing taxes, in future would there even be any need of essays.

Get the Artificial Generic Intelligencemug. Refers to da friendly wave, nod,. smile, etc. dat you courteously preform in response to a passing motorist/pedestrian who honks or calls hello to you, but you are unable to identify said greeter because the person has already moved too far away by the time you "get turned around" to see who it was.
A sportsman friend of mine experienced a classic case of "generic greeting" whenever he visited my area --- "The only thing I can figure is that I must have a vehicle that looks a lot like a local resident's, because everyone waves eagerly to me when I drive through town, and yet I don't really know anyone here. But heck, that's perfectly okay with me --- I dunno why they wave, but I just always wave back!"

Get the Generic school bullymug. The Generation right after Generation Alpha. It is predicted to start in the 2070’s, and many people say it is the end of memes, and the rise of really cringy and rage inducing memes. Many memers say that Gen Delta will have a meme in every sentence they speak, much like the band kid stereotype in this generation. When this generation starts, Gen Z will be the new millennials and Gen Alpha will be the new Gen Z. Gen Delta is also predicted to be the end of skibidi toilet but the creation of other brain rotting memes.
