A good enough next-word predictor IS AGI.
If there's something that you can prompt with e.g. "here's the proof for Fermat's last theorem" or "here is how you crack Satoshi's private key on a laptop in under an hour" and get a useful response, that's AGI.
Just to be clear, we are nowhere near that point with our current LLMs, and it's possible that we'll never get there, but in principle, if such a thing existed, it would be a next-word predictor while still being AGI.
