   > Our mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. We’re introducing updates to ChatGPT that improve everyday conversations while expanding access for Free users.

   This clearly implies that they believe ChatGPT models are AGI and are now willing to say it out loud.

   Which I think is a fair interpretation of the term. They are general purpose intelligence in that you can get help from them about almost anything. They are not like narrow single purpose AI models.

   I don't think we need that term to mean "can completely emulate a human" or "can do every task any human on earth can do as well as them".

   It also needs to be differentiated from ASI with godlike powers many times greater than human.

      If we could show the current models to someone like Alan Turing, I am sure he would conclude that we have AGI.

         And after half an hour using it he'd just admit that his test was way too simple as these models are still way too dumb

            How are the models too dumb? How are they dumber than the average person? I wonder if anyone gave Claude an IQ test (the one for humans).

               Yes there are a few sites with IQ test benchmarks. The frontier models come up around 130 or 140 depending on which model/test.

                  That tracks, I wonder what the people who say that the models are too dumb expect to see. Miracles?

               Dumb is too simplistic, but they sure don’t pass for being human. That would be the intent of a Turing test… not IQ.
