We are nowhere close to what Sam Altman calls AGI and transformers are still limited to what uniform-TC0 can do.
As an example the Boolean Formula Value Problem is NC1-complete, thus beyond transformers but trivial to solve with a TM.
As it is now proven that the frame problem is equivalent to the halting problem, even if we can move past uniform-TC0 limits, novelty is still a problem.
I think the advancements are truly extraordinary, but unless you set the bar very low, we aren't close to AGI.
Heck we aren't close to P with commercial models.
