    Yep the current iteration is. But should we cross the threshold to full AGI… that’s either gonna be awesome or world ending. Not sure which.

      Current LLMs cannot be AGI, no matter how big they are. The fundamental architecture just isn’t right.

        You’re absolutely right. LLMs are good at faking language and sometimes not even great at that. Not sure why I got downvoted but oh well. But AGI will be game changing if it happens.

      Based on what I’ve witnessed so far, people will play with their AGI units for a bit and then put them down to continue scrolling memes.

      Which means it is neither awesome, nor world-ending, but just boring/business as usual.

        There are people way smarter than me that claim it will be a threshold and would likely grow exponentially after it’s crossed. I guess we won’t know for sure until it happens. I do agree most people get bored easily but if this thing is possible to think for itself without interaction it won’t matter if the humans get bored.

      I know nothing about anything, but I unfoundedly believe we’re still very far away from the computing power required for that. I think we still underestimate the power of biological brains.

        Very likely. But 4 years ago I would have said we weren’t close to what these LLMs can do now so who knows.
