GPT-3 has flexible goals too. It can learn a new task and do it in the same step. What GPT3 doesn't have is a body.

No, you can teach it a new task or to do multiple tasks, but it will never be able to independently identify what a new task might be and learn to do it. An important distinction when talking about AGI.
