Do we even know what WOULD resemble an AGI, or exactly how to tell?

Somewhat, and no.

We generally define AGI as an intelligence (which, in the current paradigm, would be a set of algorithms) that has decision making and inference capabilities in a broad set of areas, and is able to improve its understanding of that which it does not know. Think of it like school subjects, it might not be an expert in all of {math, science, history, language, economics}, but it has some notion of how to do basic work in all of those areas.

This is extremely vague and not universally agreed upon (for example, some say it should exceed peak human capabilities in all tasks).
