I see a lot of replies suggesting agreement: LLMs are nowhere close to AGI.
I agree — it may well be a completely different path we need to go down to get to AGI ... not just throwing more resources at the path we've pioneered. As though a moon landing were going to follow Montgolfier's early balloon flights in "about five years".
At the same time, there is suddenly so much attention + money on AI that maybe someone will forge that new path?
Unfortunately the money is all chasing LLMs, not other AI approaches. Anyone with a different idea is frozen out, at least for a while. Whenever LLM disillusion finally sets in with the investor class, the question is whether other “AI” will be able to distinguish itself or if the money will just all dry up for another few decades.
