> Whatever AGI is, it "AGI" is not glueing a load of text prediction machines together.

K don't think it would be that simple either, but for now we simply don't know.

I would like to think that what I consider my intelligence will always be distinguishable from a cleverly built harness wrapped around text prediction, but I can't say for sure that's guaranteed.

Yes we do know. We’ve fully explored the possibilities of LLMs and they are nowhere.

The latest efforts like agents are clearly showing the limitations and are nowhere near AGI.

We’ve now reached the buzzwords and bullshit stage of the bubble where they cast around for problems shaped like the solution.

		Oh this bubble started in the buzzword and bullshit stage, no argument there. I'm just not sure how you can be so certain LLMs will have no place if a system we'd consider AGI, most inventions do require a long list of failures and tweaks before it finally works.
