Yes, DALL-E is very impressive to see and can have a number of actual practical uses. But fear of AGI is huge currently. The more impressive non-AGI things we see, the more worried people naturally become that we're reaching the "dawn" of AGI with all the disturbing implications that this might have. (A lot of people are afraid an AGI might escape the control of its creator and destroy humanity. I think that's less likely but I think AGI under control of it's creator could destroy or devastate humanity so I'd agree AGI is a worry). That DALL-E doesn't understand object-relationships should be obvious to people who know this technology but a lot of people seem to need it spelled-out. And they probably need it spelled why this implies it's not AGI. But that would be several more paragraphs for me.
