No, we are not close to AGI. And AGIs can't leave machines yet, so humans will still be humans. This paranoia about a parroting machine is unwarranted.

you're right. agi has been here since GPT-3 at the least.

it's honestly sad when people who have clearly not use gpt4 would call it a parroting machine. that is incredibly ignorant.

Let me know when GPT can even play chess without making invalid moves, then we can talk about how capable it is of logical thinking.
Let me know when you can prove that "logical" and "intelligent" were ever stored on the same shelf, much less being meaningfully equivalent. If anything, we know that making a general intelligence (the only natural example of it we know) emulate logic is crazily inefficient and susceptive to biases that are entirely non-existent (save for bugs) in much simpler (and energy-efficient) implementations of said logic.
An AGI that can't even play a game of chess, a game that children learn to play, without making an invalid move doesn't really sound like an AGI.
