You might want to check out Yann LeCun’s arguments—they’re pretty interesting.
TL;DR: he sees LLMs as a dead end and backs that up with concrete examples.
I mean, I do have an argument. AI, so giant, so much infrastructure, thing it couldnt do was replicate human thought, the unpredictability, the mess, it couldnt, maybe it will never. The spontaniety of the human mind, how you will be looking at cracks on a wall and come up with an idea for a painting, AI just never could have done that. Doesnt go to say AI is useless, but what Im saying is that these thinking models and idea generators are all worngly used and generate generic fluff that looks like all other gneric fluff, it gets nowhere. What AI does right now, even with so much infra, even with the best AI companies, Claude, etc, they excell at task automation, problem solving, but when it comes to building a "stance" which is consistent, and a "consistent personality", AI just cannot do it. Ai will just try its best to make you happy, it doesnt have a perspective, it gives you a general average of every available perspective. So no, whatever AGI is, intelligence, no I dont think AI is a concept that can scale to the same level as what we biologically are. Its not fundamentally possible, and we're already starting to see this.
