Who has said that "LLMs are AGI"?
- Terr_ 10mo agoProbably any sales and marketing departments of companies with an "AI" product (based on an LLM) which is presented as having AGI-like capabilities. I'm doubt parent poster was referring to anyone phrasing it in those literal terms. Kind of like how "some people claim flavored water can cure cancer" doesn't mean that's the literal pitch being given for the snake-oil.
- senordevnyc 10mo agoThat's complete bullshit, and you know it. The big labs are saying that AGI will be here soon, not that it's here now. Please prove me wrong.
- asadotzler 10mo ago"We are now confident we know how to build AGI as we have traditionally understood it. We believe that, in 2025, we may see the first AI agents 'join the workforce' and materially change the output of companies." We know how to build it and it will be entering the workforce in 2025. Well, we're in 2026 now and we don't have it in the workforce or anywhere else because they haven't built it because they don't really know how to build it because they're hucksters selling vaporware built on dead end technologies they cannot admit to.
- senordevnyc 10mo agoI know tons of engineers who are coding all day every day with agents. And that doesn't have anything to do with whether AGI is here...

- senordevnyc 10mo agolol, yes, Gary Marcus is worth quoting because some random blogger said AGI is here.
