Did you read the whole article? I don’t think he’s making that kind of argument. This is what he said:

> I only have one image in mind when I hear “an archeologist adventurer who wears a hat and uses a bullwhip”.

> It would be unexpected and sort of amazing were the LLMs to come up with completely new images for the above prompts.

> Still, the near perfect mimicry is an uncomfortable reminder that AI is getting better at copying and closer to…something, but also a clear sign that we are a ways off from the differentiated or original reasoning/thinking that people associate with Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

Thanks for this. I didn't read this part. But perhaps my comment still has use to those thinking about this, or who also haven't read the whole thing.
