Regardless of whether this is AGI or not seems irrelevant as long as it can demonstrate the capabilities or simulate intelligent behaviour. Also what is AGI if not "artificial" intelligence not real or true intelligence per se. We are trying to compare human intelligence with AI. But if two things demonstrate similar intelligent properties regardless of how, it can still be called sorta intelligent. Intelligence itself is a very subjective and philosophical term. At this point in technology, my opinion is that it shouldn't matter what and what is not AGI coz there's no way to measure that right now that everyone agrees on, as long as it demonstrates some form of "artificial" intelligence.
