  • No but it was definitely implied by the headline. A word prediction machine, no matter how useful, is never going to be an AGI. And don’t get me wrong, I find LLMs very useful for lots of things. But the model they are chasing is never going to be an AGI, no matter how much info you feed it.

    I also wouldn’t predict against an LLM helping to create an AGI either. I have this analogy in my head…

    I hammer is a useful tool. It can do many things. It can even put a screw into a piece of wood through a very brute force method. This does not make a hammer a screw driver. Could you use a hammer to help in construction of a machine to build a screw driver? Most definitely, likely even required.

    Anybody suggesting they have an AGI built from the current process is a tech bro looking for funding.
