The person he's replying to clearly believes current LLMs are a bigger deal than they are though...
They're not claiming it's AGI, though. You're missing a broad middle ground between dumb calculators and HAL 9000.
If you are genuinely open to understanding the path we are on, the new situational awareness paper would be very eye-opening. It is 160 pages, so it's probably a bit too much to get through, but there are really good videos that explain it. Matthew Berman has a great video about it. I'm not interested in swaying you and not going to debate, I'm 100s of hours deep into this and have been absolutely obsessed with it. Nobody doubted its impact as much as me. Education on the matter will undeniably change your mind tremendously. The information is there if you want a peak at the future.
