The fact that LLMs can play chess at any level is a strong indication we are in AGI.

This is roughly comparable to observing a cat batting a ball away with its paw and taking this as a "strong indication" that cats can play any sport.

  • Yes, a good analogy. Except the cat actually follows the football rules and can beat some humans. And has no physical limitations to play other kinds of sport that you might imply.

No it isn't. Computers could play chess long before LLMs, better than LLMs can in fact. That didn't make them AGI.

  • You are saying "No it is not" without an argument. The fact that computer systems could play chess yet not being AGI has no relevance to LLMs' ability to play chess being AGI, because the point is about G, not I. There's little doubt about A or I parts.
