Couldn't agree more - generalised task capable systems will likely be composable architectures that draw upon a grounding in variety of methods, not just DL by any means. Synthetic sensoria capable of integrating, interpreting and generating general task capabilities are likely to lead us somewhere interesting. DL / LLMs are akin to Wintermutes before waking; with whatever passes for consciousness instantiating and evaporating with each prompt input (which some might argue is a good thing for foom-resistant biospheres) and no continuum vector state pseudoawareness. However, strongly feel we'll have instruct-GPT models on the edge as an interface modality, but they're not the holy grail or be all end all.
