They don't have AGI. AGI also won't happen for another laege amount of years to come
What they currently have is a bunch of very powerful statistical probability engines that can predict the next word or pixel. That's it.
AGI is a completely different beast to the current LLM flower leaves
You're right. The current LLM approach has some severe limitations. If we ever achieve AGI, it'll probably be something which hasn't been invented yet. Seems most experts also predict it'll take some years and won't happen over night. I don't really agree with the "statistical" part, though. I mean that doesn't rule anything out... I haven't seen any mathematical proof that a statistical predictor can't be AGI or anything... That's just something non-expert people often say... But the current LLMs have other/proper limitations as well.
Plus, I don't have that much use for something that does the homework assignments for me. If we're dreaming about the future anyways: I'm waiting for an android that can load the dishwasher, dust the shelves and do the laundry for me. I think that'd be massively useful.
