It's still not that obvious. There has been a lot of interesting stuff in this current iteration of "AI", but the overall approach could still end up being a dead end with respect to AGI itself. It's an old discussion, and while a few of the deep learning results are really impressive I don't think any of them have fundamentally changed that discussion, yet.

Even if it is a dead end, that is still valuable knowledge.

  Of course, but the claim wasn't that it had no value. You can easily handwave that all generated knowledge might be indirectly useful; i think that's fair but also different than the distinction I drew.
