I don't think they're a dead end, they're just a very small piece of a much bigger puzzle. LLMs are to AI what word2vec was to machine learning - it's the key to encoding language in a way that algorithms can operate on but they need to be connected to a bunch of other systems to really be useful. I think it'll be a while before we perfect memory, neuroplasticity, the physical experimentation feedback loop, etc. but LLMs at least give us a way to represent and manipulate human language.

> just a very small piece of a much bigger puzzle I agree with that, but plenty of people are talking about LLMs as the precursor to AGI, especially the OpenAI crowd. Plenty of people here and elsewhere say that LLMs are actually intelligent. I think LLMs are an important illustration of what's possible, but it's not the one true way.
