These questions of whether the model is “really intelligent” or whatever might be of interest to academics theorizing about AGI, but to the vast swaths of people getting useful stuff out of LLMs, it doesn’t really matter. We don’t care if the current path leads to AGI. If the line stopped at Claude 4 I’d still keep using it.

And like I get it, it’s fun to complain about the obnoxious and irrational AGI people. But the discussion about how people are using these things in their everyday lives is way more interesting.
