Yeah, it’s a bit of an blind men/elephant thing. Like the Turing test thing was all of those, because he said something along the lines of “we don’t want to aim for passing the Turing test (because that’s pointless/useless and OA can only do a few things at a time) but we could if we put a few years into it and a hypothetical GPT-5* alone could probably do it”. All 3 claims (“we could solve Turing test”, “a GPT-5 would probably solve Turing”, “we don’t plan to solve Turing”) are true and logically connected, but different people will be interested in different parts.
* undefined but presumably like a GPT-4 or GPT-3 in being another 2 OOM or so beyond the previous GPT
