Sure but I can find examples of this in both directions. GPT-4 fails spectacularly at any task that doesn't have very precisely sanitized inputs presented to it in a certain format. It also fails at any task requiring any sort of interaction with the world. I think criticisms that it isn't a general intelligence are entirely fair even if it seems a bit more like general intelligence than most things that came before.
