It’s about to revolutionize the world, yes. What you described is what this sort if approach is good at: acting as a repository and reformatter for already existing human knowledge. But that doesn’t mean it’s an AGI, because as the person you’re responding to said, to be sure we have one of those requires making something that can create something beyond current human knowledge. (Or, at least, beyond just the logic that was contained in its training set)

One of the main ways new knowledge arises is through connecting knowledges in disparate areas and finding relationships among them, and LLMs (especially GPT-4) has been demonstrated to be quite good in this area.
