That's both a very general and very bold claim. I don't think it's unreasonable to say that's too strong of a claim given how we don't know what is possible yet and there's frankly no good reason to completely dismiss the idea of artificial general intelligence.
I think the existence of biological general intelligence is a proof-by-existence for artificial general intelligence. But at the same time, I don't think LLM and similar techniques are likely in the evolutionary path of artificial general intelligence, if it ever comes to exist.
That's fair. I think it could go either way. It just bugs me when people are so certain and it's always some shallow reason about "probability" and "it just generates text".
