I'm skeptical of both the people who claim we'll achieve AGI and self-driving cars in just a few years - as well as of the people who claim it can't be achieved by LLMs at all- ever. I feel that we don't understand well enough (scientifically) what "general intelligence" even is, and how it comes to be in humans - to make claims either way. To me, the only honest answer right now seems to be, that we do not know. We have absolutely no clue how close - or far - we are to AGI.
