That's not his point at all. He advocates using LLMs.
The correct analogy is: if we just scale and improve steel enough, we'll get a flying car.

I strongly suspect, that we will come to a point, where it gets impossible to tell if something is AGI and consciouss or not.
Were it you could pipe today’s LLM to an interface usable by someone 5 years ago, they might be impressed by the incremental improvement, but it would be obvious soon enough that it’s still not AGI.
That's exactly my point. In this analogy LLMs are steel, but the flying things are made out of aluminum, lithium and titanium and not steel. We need a better idea than LLMs because LLMs's are not suddenly going to turn into something they are not.
