> formal systems like LLMs I don't think anyone is claiming LLM's, especially their current prompt/termination based interfaces, will result in AGI. I've only seen the opposite claimed, and that LLMs may end up being a primary component. I will check out the book though. I suspect I won't find anything that convince me that brain matter is the only thing capable of getting the result we call consciousness, but I also have the simple belief that our experience is entirely the result of the brain matter encased in our heads, and that it's possible to emulate its operation in non-biological materials (that being far from the goal/unrelated to AGI, other than plausibility).
