It's too soon to say anything like that is proven. Sure, AGI hasn't been reached yet. I suspect there's some new trick that's needed. But the work going into LLM's might be part of the eventual solution.

Luckily LLMs seems quite limited and are far away from AGI.

Why is it ridiculous that an LLM or a system similar to or built off of an LLM could reach AGI?

LLM is not AGI and there's no way to AGI from LLM. Put down the kool-aid.

Humans resemble AGI more than they do LLMs

wilg Jan 16, 2025 View on HN

who cares if they do it with LLMs or not? how do you define agi?

tsimionescu Feb 20, 2023 View on HN

Pretty sure that would require AGI, and is at least well beyond the means of LLMs.

rafram Oct 26, 2025 View on HN

Are you claiming that LLMs have achieved AGI?

Zambyte Mar 6, 2024 View on HN

It sounds like you're arguing against LLMs as AGI, which we're on the same page about.

That's how you know LLM's aren't AGI.
