This is a big reason why I feel like even though LLMs are _effectively_ AGI in some regard, they also are a hack around what most people figured AGI would look like before the advent of LLMs. Humans can do metacognition, output multimodally at the same time (verbal _and_ physical intelligence go together to produce an expressive face while one talks), have a good sense for what they do and don't know, continuously take in and respond to the world around them in a (mostly) uninterrupted fashion without "turns", learn knew knowledge and retain it for their whole lives, etc. When you reduce a human to a text generator, yes obviously SOTA LLMs perform way better, but rather than invent something that can operate as an always-running "being", we've grafted a harness around an intelligence that is bound purely to speak only when spoken to. Maybe organic intelligence is already that, playing out at a super high refresh rate, but I don't know.
