So where are the androids? If it's AGI, why is it used as a tool, waiting to be prompted or executed by humans? Where is Skynet? Military applications still rely on human operators.

Robotics is advancing a bit slower, but is making progress as well.

		Yes, but unlike a lot of science fiction, robots, LLMs and other AI remain tools for human use. Augmented Intelligence would have been the more accurate word for real world AI.

You realize llms as a field is barely 5 years old? Give it at least another 5.

I doubt LLMs will give us full embodied intelligence that science fiction androids have. Maybe some other approach. But I suspect for the forseable future LLMs, robots and other AI methods will remain tools, not independent agents like Star Trek Data or Skynet.

		VLAs are new LLMs. Give them 5 years to develop. But even good old LLMs are still improving every six months.
