You are trying to make the case for something astounding but you are being careful to not make any actual claims. Yes we are closer to AGI than we thought, but that does not imply close. The delta is smaller than it's ever been, but name any period in history where we were further from AGI at the end of that period than at the beginning. You are trying to imply that we are significantly closer, but aren't willing to say that or claim that that is the consensus.

Again, saying they are not 'glorified text generators' is not a claim at all. They are glorified text generators, and of course they are more interesting than previous text generators, the question you are avoiding here is the actually significant one, which you demure on and try to lead us onto unfounded conclusions based on other people also not being willing to stick their neck out and make any claims.
