An important stepping stone, perhaps. But I don’t think the final AGI thing will necessarily contain LLMs.
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.
