Well, we don’t really know. I think that’s one element missing from most DL analysis: our understanding of the brain is incredibly limited. And ANNs are incredibly crude imitations of actual NNs. So we’ve built massive, extremely crude approximations of a system we don’t really understand. As is often the case, the truth is somewhere in the middle. It’s almost certain that we won’t reach AGI without a fundamental breakthrough on soft/wet-ware but it’s also nearly certain that even with the best algorithms we will need to efficiently harness and coordinate massive compute power, as we’re learning to do now.
