The guy I replied to is claiming AGI:

"GPT 4 is clearly AGI. All of the GPTs have shown general intelligence, but GPT 4 is human-level intelligence. "

Fair enough, that seems premature. Transformers are clearly already exceeding human intelligence in some specific ways, going back to AlphaGo. It's almost as clear that related techniques are capable of approaching AGI in the 'G' (general) sense. What's needed now is refinement rather than revolution.

Being able to emit code to solve problems it couldn't otherwise handle is a huge deal, maybe an adequate definition of intelligence in itself. Parrots don't write Python.
