Nonsense. You can't even define some of those words or know how to measure or identify them in humans. Well, foreign language learners do "reading comprehension tests" but an LLM can already ace that and it's not really the same meaning of the word.

For reasoning you can write out the logic of your reasons, so there's that. But that's absolutely not required for AGI. People can already go a long way (often further than by reasoning) on intuition alone without being able to explain how they reached their conclusions.

I think most people would agree there’s more to intelligence than language. LLMs don’t have anything except language, so they are not intelligent.
If that's the case, then a huge amount of useful intelligent-seeming stuff that humans do isn't intelligence because it can already be done by LLMs. You can keep calling them not intelligent all you like but they're already doing the jobs of human intelligences and it's only going to grow. If they eventually outperform all of us but still only using language and still never being intelligent then I guess intelligence was never that useful to begin with.
