AGI will never happen with LLMs, but if you think in terms of a human brain out can be effective language and output and image recognition module. But there's no there there. Something else entirely is needed for true thought and sentience. But llm ai is already sufficient to translate machine thought into language sentences. You just need the spark of life that can actually think for itself.

I know it's probably not intentional but you make it sound as if "just putting a spark of life" into the machine is easy

No, the spark of life implies something magical or unknown that you can't make. Like a human can never make a spark on their own, you need something from the outside to make it or happen.

It may be easy. The issue is that nobody knows what that even means.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
