OpenAI's stated goal is to develop an AGI. My point was just that until they get there we'll have no idea whether LLM tech will lead to an AGI. The company could always pivot as they learn the limitations of LLMs and potentially find other options, though I would argue that their current valuation is extremely high and based largely on the promise of tech they really haven't developed yet. If roadblocks are hit they could be in a tight spot having to live up to such high expectations. That said, as much as I'd like to see the business goal of developing an AGI crash and burn, I wouldn't bet against them. I just hope we somehow solve the seemingly unsolvable alignment problem first.
