I'm surprised that any of these companies consider what they are working on to be Artificial General Intelligences. I'm probably wrong, but my impression was AGI meant the AI is self aware like a human. An LLM hardly seems like something that will lead to self-awareness.
LLMs already outperform humans in a huge variety of tasks. ML in general outperform humans in a large variety of tasks. Are all of them AGI? Doubtful.
If it acts like one, whether you call a machine conscious or not is pure semantics. Not like potential consequences are any less real.
>LLMs already outperform humans in a huge variety of tasks.
Yes, LLMs are General Intelligences and if that is your only requirement for AGI, they certainly already are[0]. But the definition above hinges on long-horizon planning and competence levels that todays models have generally not yet reached.
>ML in general outperform humans in a large variety of tasks.
This is what the G in AGI is for. Alphafold doesn't do anything but predict proteins. Stockfish doesn't do anything but play chess.
>Are all of them AGI? Doubtful.
Well no, because they're missing the G.
