Comparing what exists against the ideal is not a good assessment in my opinion. You've already become acclimated to the GPT that exists. "poorly simulated intelligence" using LLMs was unfathomable 5 years ago. In another 5 years we'll be far into the deep.

Or not. It seems quite likely to me we are already hitting diminishing returns and progress within the current LLM paradigm is beginning to plateau.

It's not like you know any intelligent species that did not arise from brute force of a dumb optimizer ? "pop out kids before you die" evolution is exactly the antithesis to that.

yeah we are far from anything wild, even with improvements the current methods won't get us there
