About whether LLMs like GPT-4 are general enough to count as AGI.

I don't know about GPT-4 but it's very easy to find cases where v3 is incapable of the generalized sort of mathemathical and logic problem solving that humans manage fairly easily, and on that basis alone it didn't classify as an AGI for me. If that can be addressed purely via LLM-technology I'll be impressed (and pretty surprised).

An LLM reliably solves the general math and logic problems that humans manage fairly easily.
