I get that AGI has a formal definition, but if I take the words "Artificial General Intelligence" on their own, I would say they describe GPT4 perfectly. It can plan my holiday, write a cover letter, code up scripts, explain music theory to me, etc. It is artificial, clearly a form of intelligence, and has a general application.

One definition of AGI might be the system needs to be able to reason with small amounts of data.

I watched a Youtube video where Geoffrey Hinton (i think) said humans do a lot with small datasets and these LLM systems only work with huge datasets.

Im fact these systems arguably aren't reasoning at all, the giant datasets just allow it to provide the illusion of reasoning.
