Is Gibbs energy equal to the Potential energy of the system?

Is the Gibbs energy of a system really the potential energy of a system? The answers to this and this questions seem contradictory. Also, this does not seem to tell that Gibbs energy is equal to the potential energy.

If Gibbs energy is not potential energy, then what is the physical significance or physical interpretation of Gibbs energy at the molecular level?
