Maybe, maybe not. Power loom pushed a lot of humans out of the textile factory jobs, yet noone claims power loom is the AGI.

Not a lot, I mean basically everyone, to the point where most companies doesn't need to pay humans to think anymore.
Well, I'm too lazy to look up how many weavers were displaced back then and that's why I said a lot. Maybe all of them, since they weren't trained to operate the new machines.

Anyway, sorry for a digression, my point is LLM replacing white collar workers doesn't necessarily imply it's generally intelligent -- it may but doesn't have to be.

Although if it gets to a point where companies are running dark office buildings (by analogy with dark factories) -- yes, it's AGI by then.
