Oh, the article isn't trying to *prove* anything.
It says in the article that it is speculation on what the future might hold.
But if you want articles to quote evidence, then a search will find them.
Even AI experts are getting over-excited by OpenAI o1.  :)

OpenAI’s o1 Model: A Quantum Leap in AI Intelligence – Insights from Dr
Alan D. Thompson
Sat, Sep 28, 2024   By Financial Sense

OpenAI's newest AI model, o1, released on September 12, 2024, has shattered
expectations and redefined the landscape of artificial intelligence. Its
unprecedented performance on benchmark tests, surpassing PhD-level experts
across nearly every domain, has sent ripples through the tech world and
beyond.

The advent of o1 has forced experts like Dr. Thompson to reassess their
understanding of intelligence. He admits, "I need to re-evaluate my life's
work. The performance of these models can't be overstated. They can't be
overhyped."

Perhaps most strikingly, o1's capabilities have surpassed our ability to
test it. Dr. Thompson explains, "We're now at the stage it has to be
designed by a peak human being... We don't actually have people smart
enough to design test questions now that we have models like o1."

Dr. Thompson posits that o1 represents a significant step toward Artificial
General Intelligence (AGI)—a level of AI that can perform any intellectual
task that a human being can. "With o1, we're in the proto-AGI phase,” he
stated, acknowledging that while o1 has not yet achieved full AGI, it
embodies many foundational aspects. The model’s ability to reason, adapt,
and exhibit forms of self-awareness aligns closely with the characteristics
expected of AGI.
