I just see a lot of people who’ve put money in the LLM basket and get scared by any reasonable comment about why LLMs aren’t almighty AGIs and may never be. Or maybe they are just dumb, idk.
Even the bold take of "LLMs are literally AGI right now" is less of a detour from reality than "LLMs are NEVER going to hit AGI".
We've had LLMs for 5 years now, and billions were put into pushing them to the limits. We are yet to discover any fundamental limitations that would prevent them from going all the way to AGI. And every time someone pops up with "LLMs can never do X", it's followed up by an example of LLMs doing X.
Not that it stops the coping. There is no amount of evidence that can't be countered by increasing the copium intake.
