Nick Bostrom thinks GPT-6 could already be called artificial general intelligence

In an interview with Roman Yampolskiy published on 16 October, the philosopher Nick Bostrom, author of Superintelligence, said it is less misleading to call GPT-6 artificial general intelligence than to deny it, although it still lacks abilities such as continual learning. Superintelligence, which would outperform the best humans at everything, hasn't arrived yet.

Bostrom doesn't think a system far smarter than us can be kept isolated forever: sealed environments already fail with current systems, so we will have to make its goals our own. He also called for taking seriously the possibility that these systems have some kind of experience, and for starting now with cheap measures, such as preserving models instead of deleting them.
